that is why they are there, but it is not just diabetics and not ALL of them have hypertension. Just because you are a QA, or think you are, does not make you 100 percent right on everything. You have made some very misleading statements on this site, just today alone. You really need to step off the arrogant attitude for a while and do some more research on A LOT of subjects before you start *generalizing* every certain disease by saying they ALL have high blood pressure and they are ALL in the hospital. You also need to learn to admit when you are wrong and become a little more humble in your dealings with others. you might actually learn something.

Subject: Sounds like he was caught not being specific enough.

You should have been given account specific pages that explain what is expected. Nobody really knows what verbatim means until account specifics are spelled out. He needs to take a chill pill and put his expectations in writing, get approval from his supervisor, then run those specifics by the contact for the account. Otherwise all the MTs will change what they are doing and somebody at the hospital will object and then you'll have to change the way you do things AGAIN! JMO.
