| I think the last time he had a physical was when he had to get some special top secret clearance but that was about 5 years ago.
I also am not so impressed with his dr- we used to go to the same Dr & he is according to a Seattle magazine popular, as he rates in their "top" drs, but he also didn't think I needed to have my older daughter checked for HIV, despite multiple transfusions before they tested the blood for it ( until she was sexually active- because ya know, I would be more concerned about her partners, than I would be concerned about her)
He also is a general practitioner and would prescribe psychotropics for H without suggesting that he go to a psychiatrist for that.
But H likes him- probably cause he only makes vague mutterings about what he is smoking.
I wouldn't hire someone that I thought would cost me more money either- however, the company is still hiring people that are active smokers even though they know they are going to change the policy in a few months. ( I also haven't heard anything about the engineers going to be forced out if they smoke- just the factory)
I also am under impression they self insure so that they could coordinate their hiring policies and insurance policies easily.
Id also think that if their insurance arm was so concerned about costs, they should look into unsafe work practices and conditions because that will probably cost them more money in the long run. |
