Re: Hiring a MA

Mike
Some people are not? That doesn't even sound legal, to discriminate based on gender?


unfortunally i still see it, i remember that post and its still happening "we dont know how our pts will be comfortable with a male ma" see, u can sue but u wont get a job out of it and it costs money, but i feel if enough people (men AND women) complain it may halp.

i will continute to fight for that gender bias the other thing I feel must be tackled now is the massive ammounts of MA schools popping up EVERYWHERE!!! daytime tv is chalk full of these diploma mills. to many people with IMO worthless diplomas and no jobs, this is also y some doctors offer minimum wage, to much labor force out there if u wont do it for 7.00 someone else will, sad.

and I'm not being negative i think these issuses can be tackled positivaly
