SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Suspicious activity in South Charleston has neighbors and police on the lookout.
Several reports have been filed about young people going door to door selling magazines without a license.
One woman says those same people stole her prescription medication.
South Charleston Police say this activity has been happening in multiple areas of the city -- most recently, in the 100 block of 6th Avenue. That's where we met Darlene Hawkins on Friday. She says she's afraid to even leave her apartment.
Thursday morning, a young man came to her door, offering to sell her magazines.
"They just got in the building," Hawkins said. "We don't know how they got into the building. It's a locked, secure building. And just come to my door and robbed me."
She let him in, ordered some magazines and wrote him a check.
"He asked if he could use my bathroom, I said yes, he went," Hawkins said. "He come back, gathered up his paperwork and said, 'Oh could I wash my hands again?'"
That's when she began to get suspicious.
"He left," Hawkins said. "I got to thinking, that was strange. So I opened my door, he'd left a note on my door that said 'Sean is king.'"
He took her check, but that's not all. The young man also stole her prescription medication.
"This is why he made the second trip," Hawkins said. "He had to come out here because the medicine cabinet is out here."
Hawkins says the man got into a blue vehicle with out-of-state tags. The police department believes it's an SUV from Arizona and are urging people to be on the lookout. For Hawkins, the whole ordeal has left her scared, even in her own home.
"I trust everybody," Hawkins said. "And he was a nice-looking young man. So polite. And it just ... now I'm afraid. Now I just wanna stay in my apartment."
Hawkins says she hopes her story will teach others an important lesson:
"Don't open your door unless you know who it is," Hawkins said.
South Charleston Police say they believe both men and women are involved in this operation.
They also have reports of a dark green SUV as being the suspect vehicle.
If you see a similar vehicle driving through your neighborhood, you are asked to call Kanawha Metro Communications at 304-348-8111.

Cuttersville, Ohio is full of ghosts, and they all want Piper Tucker's help.One guy in town just wants Piper. Ever since Piper Tucker was young she wanted to be like everyone else, but her uncanny ability to see ghosts always put her on the other side of normal. And the apparitions are showing up now more than ever, desperately seeking help. But what can she possibly do for them? They've already been dead for years. Besides, she has a personal concern of her own right now. A real flesh and blood concern—named Brady. He's Piper's childhood crush, and no sooner is he back in town than sparks start giving off heat. For Brady, it's hard not to notice the sexy young woman Piper's become, or forget the special gift she had as a girl. And right now it could come in handy, because a long-forgotten murder has been keeping a restless spirit from finding peace. All Piper and Brady have to do is solve the crime to put the specter to rest. But the passion brewing between them is just as restless, and could prove twice as dangerous.
USA Today bestselling author Erin McCarthy sold her first book through author Lori Foster's website contest in 2002, much to her continued amazement. More than two dozen books later, Erin is entertaining readers with her sassy, sexy tales of contemporary and paranormal romance, including the popular Fast Track and Vegas Vampires novels. Erin also writes paranormal young adult novels under the name Erin Lynn.

A phrase expressing enthusiastic agreement or acceptance, used instead of "for sure". Origin: Strange yet contined need by rapers and want a be rapers, come office try hards to rap common phrases in an effort to look cool.

A term used only by Caucasians to describe something awesome. When someone white wants to sound like a "gangster" they will add for-shizzle to the end of a sentence.

Despite my relative disappointment with some recent high-priced Bourbon, my resounding praise of Elijah Craig 12-Year Barrel Proof and this year's Parker's Heritage Collection ("Original Wheat") drew me back into the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience to purchase the latest $250.00 extremely limited edition Bourbon from Heaven Hill: William Heavenhill 15-year Cask Strength. Like last spring's Select Stock, this bottle is only available at the gift shop in Bardstown, but a few bottles found their way to Louisville. Unlike the wheated, Cognac-finished, Select Stock, William Heavenhill uses Heaven Hill's standard Bourbon mash bill (75% corn; 13% rye; 12% malted barley), and there's no fancy finishing.
What sets William Heavenhill apart from Elijah Craig 12-year Barrel Proof (aside from three additional years of aging) is that William Heavenhill was aged in barrels larger than traditional 53-gallon size. After some inquiries, Heaven Hill gave me exclusive additional information: they used nine out of thirteen custom-built 65-gallon barrels for this edition of William Heavenhill. Parker Beam found these custom-made barrels – that were actually built for a different customer – and he was intrigued. I was also told that the nine selected barrels only produced about 350 bottles, which seems low even for 15 years and cask strength, at least at average evaporation rates, but apparently three of the barrels in particular were extremely low.
Regardless, the real question is probably whether William Heavenhill is materially different when compared to a $55.00 Elijah Craig Barrel Proof? I certainly wondered, so I opened an Elijah Craig 12-year Barrel Proof from the spring of 2014, which weighed in at a conveniently similar 134.8 proof. Let's see if there's a $200 difference.
Bourbon: William Heavenhill Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Distillery: Heaven Hill (distilled in Louisville and aged in Bardstown)
Age: 15 years (in 65-gallon barrels, stored upright)
Proof: 135.6 proof
Cost: $249.99
Tasting Notes
Dark brown; some of the darkest that I've seen. It's even darker than Elijah Craig 12-year Barrel Proof, which used to be the darkest Bourbon in my collection.
The nose is similar to Elijah Craig 12-year Barrel Proof, but it has more oak, and more earthy and leather tones too. It has a nice balance of oak and spice along with caramel and cinnamon apple. There isn't as much burn on the nose as might be expected from the high proof, and it has noticeably less burn than the slightly lower proofed Elijah Craig (to be fair, this particular batch of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof has the hottest nose out of all of them to date).
The high proof is evident immediately, but it's not distracting. A little air calmed it down too, but it still has a robust blast of complex flavors. It has the oak and leather from the nose, with an overall dry taste, but much more complexity than I expected. The taste has fewer similarities compared to Elijah Craig 12 Barrel Proof than with the nose, but it's clearly still related. William Heavenhill is creamier than the Elijah Craig and definitely drier, but despite having slightly higher proof, it's less hot on the tongue. William Heavenhill also has a unique dry tang of black tea. This is a remarkable Bourbon.
The finish was really long, and definitely longer than my comparison Elijah Craig, with the same spice, oak and black tea flavors carrying through from the taste.
Bottom Line
With such a limited release and with such a premium price, I would have appreciated more attention to detail on the bottle. The thick gold wax seal adds a nice touch, although the thickness and density of the wax made the strip really difficult to pull. The simplicity of the bottle itself makes it attractive, but hand-labeling the warehouse information and bottle number would have been a nice gesture for anyone dropping this kind of cash.
Regardless, I pay more attention to what's inside the bottle than its appearances, and inside it is exceptional. It's considerably better than my last $250 Heaven Hill purchase (the wheated, Cognac-finished Select Stock). Unlike that Select Stock, which I didn't recommend drinking neat, William Heavenhill's heat doesn't absolutely require taming. Instead, much like Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and Parker's Heritage Collection 8th Ed. Original Wheat, this is a beast that can be enjoyed neat, and then you'd better cut the proof. Adding differing amounts of water or ice gives a creamier, somewhat sweeter, taste, without sacrificing the finish.
While I really enjoyed William Heavenhill and would love to have a constant supply, I can't say that it's worth $200 more than Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, even though I think that this William Heavenhill is much better than my comparison Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. On the other hand, this edition of William Heavenhill is unique, so I hope you get a chance to try it. If I didn't consider value, or if this were priced in the range of the suggested retail prices for many of this fall's limited edition releases, William Heavenhill would have easily scored a 4.5, and maybe higher. But I do account for value, so I had to adjust the score to a 3.5.
Thanks to sharp eyes and good fortune of a friend in Savannah, I just learned that Heaven Hill bottled one of its other 65-gallon barrels of the same mash bill 15-year Bourbon (bottled at 131 proof) as a private barrel under the Select Stock label. This barrel was selected for Bourbon Bar in Atlanta, where the menu indicates a price of $40.00 per pour. That leaves three more 65-gallon barrels unaccounted for; let the hunt begin.
Score on The Sipp'n Corn Scale: 3.5 (4.5+ if not considering price)
The Sipp'n Corn Scale™:
1 – Wouldn't even accept a free drink of it.
2 – Would gladly drink it if someone else was buying.
3 – Glad to include this in my bar.
4 – Excellent bourbon. Worth the price and I'm sure to always have it in my bar.
5 – Wow. I'll search high and low to get another bottle of this.

Honey the Hero by Emlyn Chand (Illustrated by Sarah Shaw)
Evolved Publishing brings you the first of the Bird Brain Books by Emlyn Chand, Honey the Hero. This children's picture book, with full color illustrations by artist Sarah Shaw, is for kids 3 to 8 years old. [DRM-Free]
[Children's Picture Books, Animals/Birds, Values]
Honey, an inquisitive, young parakeet living in the Australian Outback, decides to become a superhero after she spies a human family watching Superman. Since she already has the power of flight, all she needs to do is create a costume to conceal her true identity and then fly off in search of animals that need rescuing.
Unfortunately, every time she tries to help, Honey only ends up making matters worse. She spoils Kangaroo's game of hide-and-go-seek by revealing his hiding place to Wallaby; Mr. Anteater must go hungry when she alerts the ants to his presence, and Mrs. Koala is made a laughingstock among bears when Honey pretends to be her Joey. Finally realizing that she's not as heroic as she'd like, Honey gives up her day-saving efforts.
But what happens when someone actually needs Honey's help? Will she rise to the challenge?
There's only one way to find out: join Honey in her Australian superhero adventure in this edition of the color-illustrated Bird Brain Books series for children 3-8 years old.

What others are saying about the Bird Brain Books by Emlyn Chand
Poppy the Proud: "Poppy the Proud has so many great lessons in it - including teaching children that everyone is special and beautiful in their own way. The writing is perfect for the younger age set, and the beautiful illustrations by Sarah Shaw will help keep your little one engaged. My 5 year old loved it and reading Poppy brought about a conversation about bragging, friendship, and being special." – Karen Toz
Courtney Saves Christmas: "This book is so stinkin' cute. My kiddos loved it. The illustrations [by Noelle Giffin] are fun and really captivated my 4 and 5 year old. I love that Courtney's adventure began because she wanted to say, "thank you." What a great message to send during the holidays. I have a feeling this book will be read long after Christmas has come and gone." – Delphina "Delphina Reads Too Much"
Vicky Finds a Valentine: "This children's book is so cute and really let's young children know what being friends is all about. The illustrations, done once again by Noelle Giffin, lend a nice touch to a great book. This book is for the younger set up to about 9 years old. I highly recommend this book to be in any child's library. Both thumbs up!" – Naila Moon

Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... The Weekend Nears
And so, another working week is about to draw to a close. And once again, we will be getting an earlier-than-usual head start, thanks to the flukey use-it-or-lose-it days off policy. This means the menu of stories today will be brief as we segue into our weekend agenda, which includes spending fun time with our short people, catching up on all sorts of reading and visiting one of the Pharmalot ancestors.

What If Alzheimer's Had Never Come Into My Life?
I have heard some people express their pity that my youth was touched by Alzheimer's. I, too, pity that my Great Grandmother had to suffer from this horrible disease. However, as for me, my contact with Alzheimer's disease has made me who I am. By +Max Wallack Alzheimer's Reading Room A few days ago, Bob asked "What if Alzheimer's had never come into your life." Immediately, I knew it would take me a few days to think about that question! If Alzheimer's had never come into my life, I would not be me. I know that is quite a statement, but I believe it is true. I believe most of my chara...

Antidepressants for Depression: Nassir Ghaemi Weighs In
We all think we know what depression is. Think again. Do we? If we have no idea what the illness is, then how can we possibly treat it?

ADHD Experts Reveal Their Favorite Ways to Manage Procrastination
For people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), procrastination tends to be a stubborn problem. "I don't know anyone with ADHD where procrastination is not an issue," said Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D, a clinical psychologist and clinical instructor in the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. That's because this is the nature of ADHD and its neurological underpinnings. It's difficult for the brain of someone with ADHD to get stimulated unless the activity is interesting, there are major consequences or there is a sense of urgency, he said. "For people with ADHD, there are two time...

Escaping the Depths of Mental Illness, Stigma & Parity Violations
Everybody is identical in their secret unspoken belief that way deep down they are different from everyone else. ~ David Foster Wallace, "Infinite Jest" The quote above immediately reminds me of those who suffer with mental illness, and the difficult yet frequently experienced challenges imposed upon such people. Mental illness can be an extremely isolating experience, invisibly dividing the "sick" from the "healthy." No matter the type of mental illness, my guess is that nearly all of those afflicted have felt, at some point during their illness, a sense of separation, an absence of belonging, an ...

Residential Needs of Adults with Severe Autism in New Brunswick Are Not Being Met

The man was relocated to a more decent accommodation outside New Brunswick but no modern residential care and treatment facilities have been built in NB.

Reasons to pause when discussing a "sensory processing disorder" construct.
The Sensory Profile is an assessment tool that purports to measure sensory processing abilities (Pearson Education Inc., 2008); there are versions for infant/toddlers, school aged children, and adolescent/adult populations. The tool has been used to document the incidence of a "sensory processing disorder" construct (Ahn, et. al., 2004; Ben-Sasson, et. al., 2009). To date, although many scientists recognize that children can have difficulties with processing sensory information, this diagnostic construct has been rejected and is not considered as a distinct clinical entity (AAP, 2012).

ConclusionI hope that the outlandish claims now being sanctioned by UPMC leadership may raise awareness of what is going wrong with the leadership of health care organizations in general.

50 Years Later, Mental Health Care in America Still Hard to Come By
Next week marks the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy signing historic legislation known as the Community Mental Health Act (back when the name of legislature plainly reflected what was in it). It was the country's boldest attempt to bring mental health care into the modern era by moving people out of inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and put them back in the community where they belong, making mental health care affordable and readily available to all Americans. And due to the federal government slashing funding for mental health care in the 1980s, the legislation was wildly successful in emptying out sta...

Meds or Therapy?
It's this funny thing, people talk about the rise in the use of medications like it's a bad thing (and perhaps it is) and the decline of psychotherapy by psychiatrists as also being a bad thing (and perhaps it is). It's almost like a see-saw, and there is thought by some that using medicine is a quick-fix, a way of avoiding looking at the more difficult issues that we as humans face in the natural course of human suffering. It's funny -- as started by saying -- because it seems like the combination of medications together with psychotherapy work best. Let me address the quick fix thing. First off, most p...

When social media connections with patients are NSFW
Patients have gone online, digital natives are entering medical schools and regulatory bodies, like the General Medical Council in the UK, are scrambling to respond to the impact these changes are having on medical professionalism. The possibilities for enhanced learning, better communication and higher quality care are vast. Social media, which has been described as the greatest revolution since the Gutenberg printing press, can provide patients with faster and easier access to doctors and it can help health care professionals disseminate important public health messages effectively and efficiently. Social media also ...

Are patients marginalized at health conferences?
Recently, I was bemoaning the fact that while the first conference specifically addressing diabetes and depression was a good start, there really wasn't a significant patient presence. Lots of experienced professionals in the field, but startling few people who had actually walked-the-walk with significant depression for years, decades even. Continue reading ...

For me, the Friday surprise hit on the Roadfood Tour was R.O.'s sliced pork BBQ sandwich. In this part of the world, I generally go for chopped, but this sliced pork -- so moist, sweet, and just faintly smoky -- pairs magnificently with R.O.'s indescribably good sauce/slaw/dip on a grill-toasted bun.
In a pod of familiar franchise restaurants (Jersey Mike's, Salsarita's, etc.) across from the hotel where we're staying for the Roadfood bus tour of Charlotte, is a subject that definitely deserves further research: Nana's Soul Food Kitchen. A quick afternoon snack was very good: luxurious fried chicken, spicy-tender collard greens, and masterful mac 'n' cheese. Accompanied, of course by the unofficial N.C. state beverage, Cheerwine:

The tracking features allow customers the ability use as many or as few containers as needed and is reportedly an environmentally responsible way to transport sensitive and high value cargo. The continuous tracking allows monitoring of everything from temperature and humidity to entry and function alarms. Customers can track their shipments live on the web and can even watch their shipments via live video.
"Averitt is the first transportation company to offer this service," said Ken Broussard, president and founder of Climate Controlled Containers, which Averitt is partnering with for the service. "
Each unit runs on internal batteries with more than 150 hours of operating time. If extended cargo hold times are needed, and units can easily be recharged via a standard power outlet or 24- volt DC supply.
The containers feature an all-aluminum frame and shell and can be stacked up to three high. They are lockable with a two-point cam latch and breach alarm with a temperature control that is accurate within one degree.
Internal temperature ranges are from 10°F to 140°F while the ambient temperature limits are between 130°F and 20°F.
They measure approximately 82 inches high, 88 inches long and 51 inches high on the outside and have an internal height of 64 inches, length of 51 inches and width of nearly 47 inches.
Payload limit is 2,000 pounds.

Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 25, 1907.
Application filed September 16,1904. Serial No. 224,694.
To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK F. MOCAULLEY a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Sistersville, in the county of Tyler and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Swings, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention has relation to swings, and more particularly to that class which are adapted for use upon verandas and lawns, and the object of this invention is to provide a novel form of swing which be readily supported in a frame or swung from the ceiling of a veranda or porch.
Another object of this invention is to provide a portable swing which will be adjustable whereby the same may be inclined or adjusted to form a chair, and I have provided novel means whereby the swing proper may be supported and swiveled in a suitable frame for use in connection with lawns.
The invention further contemplates providing a swing which can be made of light weight iron of standard dimensions, and the swing proper can be disassembled whereby a compact form is obtained for transportation, the parts being readily assembled when it is desired to construct the swing. By con structing the same of light metal of standard sizes, the cost of manufacture is reduced to a minimum, aiid a strong and durable swing obtained.
The invention finally consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In describing the invention in detail, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, in which the figure illustrates a perspective view of my improved swing.
In the drawing accompanying this application, I have illustrated the swing as being mounted in a lawn stand, but I do not care to limit myself to the specific use of the swing in this stand, as the same may be detached and supported from suit able hooks in the ceiling of a veranda or porch, or, if it be desired, the stand may be placed upon the veranda or porch when it is not desired to disfigure the ceiling thereof with hooks or like supports upon which the swing may be supported.
In the view illustrating my invention, the reference characters A and B designate a set of metallic strips, each set comprises two strips which form the base of the stand or frame in which my improved swing is mounted. These metallic strips support an inverted U-shaped frame C, which is preferably made of a pipe bent to conform to the shape described, the ends of the pipe being formed with a contracted portion which is inserted between the stripscomprising the sets A and B of the base, and the ends of the pipe C are riveted to the strips as indicated at D. The frame or pipe C is further supported by an angularly disposed brace E, the one end of which brace surrounds the pipe or frame C, while the other end of each brace is riveted between the metallic strips as indicated at F. The base of the inverted U- shaped frame C is spaced apart or braced by a transverse angular strip G, the ends of which are secured to the pipe or frame C.
The reference character H designates a bolt which is secured in the top of the frame 0 and upon this bolt is swiveled or pivotally mounted my improved swing.
The swing comprises an inverted U-shaped member 1, which is provided with an aperture 2, whereby the same may be mounted upon the bolt H. The depending sides of the member 1 are provided with a plurality of apertures 3, and in these apertures are pivotally mounted angularly-disposed frames 4, 4, which constitute the sides of the swing, the
lower ends of these frames being spaced apart by the bars 5, and these bars form side rails or arm rests for the occupant of the swing.
The reference numeral 6 designates a connection between the bars 5 and the frames 4, and when these bars are connected together, the foot rails 7, 7 and the back rails 8, 8, are connected thereto. These rails are spaced apart by the cross rods 9, 10, 1 1. To the protruding ends of the cross rod 10 I secure rear- Wardly extending bars 12, 12 which have their outer ends braced together by the cross rod 14, and said bars are supported from the lower ends of the back rails as designated at 15, 15, and where this connection is made, the toothed bars 16, 16 are connected, the teeth of which are adapted to engage the pins 17, 17 carried by the bars 5.
By the construction just described, it will be seen that the foot support and the back of the swing are adjustable, and the position of the back and foot supports being determined by the toothed bars which engage the bars 5, it will be observed that the back and the foot ployed by me permits of the swing being turned around at any angle desired, at the same time swinging within the member 1, and I wish it to be understood that while I have herein described the swing in its frame as being made of metal, the same may be readily constructed of light strips of wood and that any other suitable means may be employed for adjusting the inclination of the back and foot rests of the swing.
It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination with an inverted U- shaped supporting-frame, of a swing-frame suspended from said supporting-frame, and a swing carried by the swing-frame and comprising supporting-bars adjustably-connected at their upper ends to the swing-frame, arm-rest bars pivotally-connected to said It will also be seen that supporting-bars, foot-rails pivotally-connected to the forward ends of the arm-rest bars, cross-rods connecting said foot-rails, sidebars pivotally-connected at their forward ends to the foot-rails, back-rails pivotally connected to the arm-rest bars and the sidebars, a cross-rod connecting said back-rails adjacent their upper ends, pins carried by the arm-rest bars, and toothed racks to engage with said pins, substantially as described.
2. In a device of the class described, a supporting frame, a swing frame suspended from said supporting frame, and a swing carried by said swing frame and comprising supporting bars detachably connected at their upper ends to the swing frame, arm rests pivotally connected to said supporting bars and provided respectively with lateral pins, foot rails pivotally connected to the arm rests, transverse rods connecting said foot rails, side bars movably connected to the foot rails, back rails movably connected to the arm rests and side bars, a transverse rod connecting said back rails, and bars swinging from said swing frame and provided with spaced teeth adapted to engage with said lat eral pins.
In testimony whereof I ai'fix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

Just a formality. Just want to make sure you can talk in proper English and have an MD degree. Ofcourse you will have come through Aerotek and hence they will tell you everything in advance.
First question - tell me about yourself. 2. Why do you want to work here. 3. Any previous experience. 4. How do you feel about sitting and calling for long hours and do you think you can handle the job. 5. We really focus on the numbers so we are a little strict (BS because they are crazy with micromanaging to the point of insanity). 6. Here is a clinical article, please tell me what is wrong with this study.Interview Questions

Interview process is very labor intense and took 1 month to get an in person inteview after nmultiple emails and a phone interview. Interview lasted 6 hours- 1 hour spent on scrupulous paperwork (some of which I had already completed previously but told I had to complete again. 4 hours of two group interviews.
I inquired about next steps and when could I expect to hear from them?
The VP/Client Services responded "That's a fair question and informed me that they were resctuctring./reorging right now and no sure when they would know anything. If I didn't here from her in a few weeks, I should call them back".
I can't understand why an employer would waste so much time (theirs and mine) when they had no position or were not currently hiring due to current company restructure.Interview Questions

Telephone interview where the hiring manager said "Do you want a job where you work alone in a chaotic environment with late hours, no appreciation and low pay." He talked about how the job and company isn't so great etc. Highly demanding, little appreciation.
Went for the face to face interview - first stop is HR where you have to fill out this meaningless, detailed application, where they ask your DOB and previous salary etc.ridiculous - How about if you decide and I decide if I want to work here - Then the interview - HARDBALL "Why do you want this job? Why should I hire you? (Oh, please! that is so aggressive) What would you do in the first 30 days?" Everything I said was immediately refuted.
When I tried to close by asking something like - What's the next step? or Do you see me as a member of your team? The guy got openly hostile. "Oh, so now you're trying to close me?" Yuk - it was awkward. I couldn't wait to get out of there.Interview Questions

Typical interview process with a phone interview with hiring manager followed by an in-person interview with hiring manager and other employees that this position would either interact with, support or manage. A second round interview was completed approsimately 30 days after the first interview. This interview included additional "future colleagues" as well as some senior executives such as the CEO and Medical Director. The offices were nice and the company is very open and friendly making you feel welcome. Although the fit for working with this company was not right at this time, the possiblity of future opportunities is open and welcom.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at MediMedia in January 2009.Interview Details
Interview is done for namesake. They follow a meaningless format insisted on by HR that has nothing to do with the job. There is not a single person besides the Physicians that have any sort of medical or pharmacological knowledge. They are all marketing/management types. They really want to know how you speak and if you can present with confidence. Very easy to get a job offer here because job turnover is big, people go through this department like it's a drive-thru.
They don't tell you the truth. That you are a glorified telemarketing pharm sales rep. Job difficulty is extremely easy, you read a script. Your job is to call 1000s of practices all day to get doctors on the phone during practice hours to talk to you for a few minutes at that exact moment. We all know the failure rate for that is 99%. So does MediMedia. I'll never figure it out. Only 10% of Physicians stick for more than a year here.Interview Questions

In Butler County, a vehicle traveled off of a roadway and over corrected. The vehicle then slid into the path of another vehicle, ejecting the driver.
On November 5, 2014 at approximately 3:25 p.m., Chelsea Hill, age 23 of Campbell, Missouri was operating a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. Cheryl Bader, age 53 of Campbell Missouri was operating a 2010 Toyota 4 Runner.
At that said date and time, Chelsea Hill traveled off the right side of the roadway and over corrected her vehicle going Southbound. She then slid into the path of Cheryl Bader who was going Northbound. Chelsea Hill was ejected from her vehicle.
Chelsea Hill was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. Riva and was taken by ambulance to the Popular Bluff Regional Medical Center Morgue. Cheryl Bader received moderate injuries and was transported by ambulance to Popular Bluff Regional Medical Center.
Chelsea's 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt received total damages and was removed by Rushins Wrecker. Cheryl's 2010 Toyota 4 Runner received total damages and was removed by Woolards Towing.
This auto-crash was investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol and with the assistance of Troop E, CPL Slaughter, Trooper Hunter and Trooper Huggins.
