OT poll - what do you do for a living?

I'm a professional writer/food blogger/Queen of the World. This all keeps me very busy.

I am a finance director at a large teaching hospital.  We own 2 other hospitals and have joint ventured with 3 others.  My department is in charge of yearly financial reporting to Medicare and Medicaid.  We are in charge of Medicare/MEdicaid Audits,  tracking the physician residents, getting governmental payment for our charity, budgeting patient revenue and determining what we will receive on outstanding accounts depending on the insurance company since each contract is different.

Customer Service (amongst many other duties) in the paper industry.

I'm an environmental epidemiologist and toxicologist.  I work for the FDA and EPA on cases of human exposures to chemicals found in the environment. 

Cool beans!

I'm a senior administrative assistant to the Executive Officers of the finance department at a large cosmetics company headquartered in New York City.  However, I also a doctorate in neuroscience, in the electrophysiology area, and used to work with rats in a lab.  After a postdoctoral fellowship I decided that it wasn't the career path for me, especially since I became highly allergic to the lab rats.   

So cool to see another EP person! I have been in healthcare my entire working life. I spent 3 years working in an electrophysiology lab at a major hospital. We ran clinical trials for arrhythmias. The animal lab was down the hall from my basement office, but I worked with the humans one floor up.  ; )
