On Medical records making transition to touch screens
Posted on December 6 at 1:40 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
This back and forth between Dean and Mercy having this technology or that, or this clinic being for profit or not, or them spending how much money to upgrade facilities and features is completely irrelevant in my book. I don't care HOW nice or dingy your building is as long as I'm getting the best care I can. I'm not living there, I'm being treated there. And speaking from experience over the course of two decades of care, Dean and ALL of their clinics/hospitals I've visted in Janesville and Madison, is hands DOWN the BEST patient care staff of any medical provider in the area. They train their people to be compassionate and caring while Mercy it seems has spent more time going "by the books", ignoring how that makes the patients FEEL. I will never step foot into another Mercy facility if I do not have to. I will support Dean and it's for-profit facilities for any and all services I and my family need. And for the record, I am in no way related to nor have I ever been a part of the Dean or Mercy in terms of employment or anything of the such(nor has my family). I am simply the consumer of the services and have used my experiences at each organization set my mind. And trust me, it only takes ONE bad reference to lose business. And Mr Bea should be shaking in his booties right now. You can put a pretty face on all of your buildings Mr Bea, but that doesn't do squat to your staff and policies. I'd take Dean and even their older clinics in Madison over your shotty service here in the new digs in Janesville. Truth be told!
Oh and p.s. - For those people so concerned about "germs" and such at all of these kiosks... You are gonna to complain about the touchscreens, but have NO problems touching the doorknobs, chairs in the waiting room, leaning on the germ infested counters checking as of now. Come on people! It's called HAND SANITIZER!!! It's available in abundance in almost ANY clinic/hospital and most places of business now a days. Plus you can buy these small purse or pocket size bottles for like $1 at any grocery or department store. Craziness i tell you!
On Recall effort finds support in Rock County

Well, if the numbers hold true, it won't be too much longer before these fabulous volunteers have helped us to plant the seeds to oust this control freak governor of ours. Stand up Wisconsin for the fairness and support of our less fortunate right here in our own backyards.
The volunteer that we got at our house was a kind, 70-something gentleman that was dedicating his time to this great cause. When we opened the door he greeted us with a smile, politely asked if we'd like to sign the petition, and when we agreed, he stepped in and chatted with us about the state of the city, economy and we giggled a bit about the notion that some think this is all about the "union" issue. After signing I thanked him for bringing the petition to us, so we didn't have to seek it out (though I would have eventually), and he simply smiled and said, "Well we've gotta do SOMETHING." And off he went to the next house.
God Bless these volunteers, many of them older than me, that are putting in long hours by foot, all to help the state's people in need. Thank you Scott Walker for giving us something to unite for, after all!
On Recall organizers report 105,000 signatures so far

My signatures were on that petition when someone came to my door today. I will fight for my entire family's education. We are all in school and we all are part of the working class. I will not be further driven into poverty because some guy tells me and my family that we're not worthy of support to become successful while the rich stay rich simply because they have been thus far. I am anti-Walker and will sound it from the roof-tops if it'll allow me my freedoms again.
On Ministry matters: Creative services reach wide crowds

I am truly blessed to know several people within the community that participate in these ministry and mission activities. I am proud to be part of a community that is willing to help those in need, without expecting something in return. It's true, it can mean the world to someone to be able to have their parenting or social needs met without having to fill out an application, get on a waiting list or be known to others as poor. With these activities, parents and families can get what they need without divulging their names, situations, or financial disparity, and leaving with their head up. Thank you to these local churches for truly helping selflessly, and truly blessing our community. What an inspirational article!

Hey, if WE didn't go to games, and buy tickets and spend money, there wouldn't be a WE to talk about... I'm entitled to feel some contribution was made upon my ticket purchase towards MY team. And I'm totally emotionally involved. There is no other group of people I shift my evening life around to watch them do what they do best, than the Brewers. I love MY Brew Crew!
On Hottest team in baseball...

Seriously Godfather!?! You are the reason why these blogs should NEVER have been created. Get off your high horse and find something better to do than to chastise a Gazette reporter because he called a sports team "his". Who cares? I claim sports teams like every other normal American does when they are trying to show support, loyalty and pride in their favorite teams. In fact, I tell people that Ryan Braun is my future husband (I even tell my REAL future husband), if only Brauny would just come to his senses. lol
Considering I'm go to Brewers games, which help pay these players salaries and help care for the stadium, I feel I have some ownership in their name. Without all of us die-hard fans, there would be NO sports. And I'm sure MY Brewers and Packers would agree to that!
On Social acceptance leads to more open same-sex couples

Every person on this blog talking about the condemnmation of homosexuality is no doubt pulling all resources, quotes and findings from google searches of "what the bible says about homosexuality" or "is homosexuality wrong" or another "is homosexuality a choice?".... And of course you get some biased, church-inspired "word" about how all homosexuals will go to hell and how it's wrong and yadda yadda....
Let's just say, MY God tells me, despite whatever the bible's authors interpretted his gospel to say, that ALL God's creatures will go to heaven given they give themselves entirely to Him. He loves all of His people. When we all get to Heaven, I cannot WAIT to see the looks on all of your faces of the people you'll need to share OUR Heaven with! HAHAHAHA!
On Group seeks additional dog trainers

StormChaser.... It is very hard to know exactly how the dog was treated prior to being put in the shelter. Because these dogs need to last a better portion of a handicapped/service-needing person's life, it is better to get the puppies from reputable breeders that breed their dogs to have good bone structure, limited health issues and good temperments. I'm sure that being avid dog lovers as these trainers would have to be, they surely feel bad that they could not match their needs with the needs of shelter animals with adoptions.
I applaud the selfless undertaking these breeders are taking on for the safety, service and companionship of others less fortunate. God bless you Theresa and OccuPaws!

I am saddened to live in a world, and call myself a Christian, if I am identified as a bigot, like the ones on here claim to be. I will be honest, as I read each and every comment on here, I teared up at the absolute hatred and closed-mindedness of people that claim to follow the Word of God. I can't believe that while every other scripture can be interpretted many ways and churchgoers are quick to figure out a way to apply it to their lifestyle, that this is one they can only interpret to mean hating and unaccepting, and likely burning at the stake if it was legal. Being gay/lesbian does not corrupt your children, it teaches them tolerance, acceptance, and beauty of all people. Being gay/lesbian does not ruin the sanctity of marriage anymore than being Black and allowing African Americans into our country/communities to live as we whites live, ruins the pride and sanctity of celebrating ones heritage and ethnicity as a white person. I pray my children are able to learn acceptance, kindness, and love for people all over the spectrum. I pray that my children are comfortable enough to come to me one day and tell me that they are homosexual, if they are, and know that no matter where our society is with acceptance or condemnation, that I will love them and their chosen partner unconditionally and in the Word of God.
Call it what you want: scripture, God's Word, wrongness, immorality, intolerance....
I call it one thing: HATE
And for those of you that do, shame on you, and I hope YOU'RE prepared for what YOU will face when you reach your judgement day. I can feel nothing but peace in my heart, head and soul for accepting ALL of GOD's creatures regardless of any attribute they possess. I love God and His beautiful people.... ALL of them.

Yeah but Milton alum, hate to break it to you, those chairs you sit in in the waiting area and the counters you lean on are NOT sanitized all the time.... germs are what keep a person's immune system active for when it has BIGGER bugs to kill.... You could just stay home and use that virtuwell.com to "see" a dr to avoid all of the germs in general. Let me know how that works out for ya! HA!
