I am a retired 38-year veteran of emergency medicine who served twelve years as a Naval Officer. I have directed one ICU, two trauma centers, three emergency departments, nine EMS agencies, two EMS systems, and one poison control center. I have patented several medical devices, designed three EDs and three urgent care centers, built an 18th century grist mill and covered bridge, and published four novels and one war biography.
I have a blog inspired by one of my books, http://thefirsttosayno.com . This blog explores violence against healthcare workers, who are the victims of 60% of all assaults in the American workplace. I advocate major changes in the way hospitals protect their employees and work with nursing organizations and government a

DISCOURAGED ABOUT THE FIGHT AGAINST HEALTHACARE VIOLENCE

You may have noticed that I don’t post very often on my healthcare blog anymore, http://thefirsttosayno.wordpress.com.

Quotes by Charles C. Anderson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Never miss an opportunity to learn another life skill. Just because you are an author or a doctor does not mean that you cannot learn carpentry, auto mechanics,electrical wiring, farming, or any other discipline. Each of these skills will give you the opportunity to help someone and to make a friend. Your new friend probably has a skill that you do not. If you will just ask every skilled person you see to show you how he does what he does, you will have the tools to succeed in life, to make new friends, and to save a boatload of money.”
