Do I know any doctors or medical professionals who use handheld ultrasound in a hospital environment? I'm looking for a few short stories about times when having this tech really impacted patient care/saved a life.

Why do healthcare orgs think they can take advantage of people who are self pay? Is it a goal to bleed them dry or just poor planning that doesn’t consider people without insurance or OON? No other biz can charge people on a whim w/o explanation or beyond a quoted fee.

@thomasborowski @StroteBook How do you determine the right scope for smaller budgets? Struggling with smaller companies with big asks (or just lots of content creation desired) & how to make a big impact with those smaller $

@AliWines @PRisUs We have an EV & an ICE car. The EV costs about $30 per month to "fill". No oil changes or emissions inspections. Insurance was only slightly more. & in GA we have a tax of like $200/yr to make up for not buying gas.

Great post. The focus is more on workload & taking fair prices than hitting $100k. I don’t make that because I couldn’t take on that much work for most of my freelance career. That may change out of necessity. U get what u give in freelance. mightyfreelancer.com/how-to-make-10…

@shannonahouston And you’re right about test scores. Mine struggle with the comprehension part on tests & this makes me wonder. When we read books they can analyze, compare, do all the things on their own. But tests are a couple paragraphs & it’s hard for them.

@shannonahouston My kids don’t read to themselves much. I still read to my youngest. My older one will read manga but that’s about it unless forced. But they do still seem to enjoy story and characters.

Yes. Have a pic, ideally a professional headshot. It's not that much to hire a local photographer for a 30-minute shoot.

@PRisUs On Linkedin I never accept invites from people without solid, professional profile pics. It's a red flag for scammers or someone who will waste my time.

@lizziedavey @PRisUs make connections with people who have complementary skills. Editors & designers like working with reliable writers. Writes like working with talented editors, PMs, programmers, whatever. They keep you in mind when needing to build a team. #freelancechat

@StroteBook @JanaGentrySmith @PRisUs I've heard Roadmap used a few times as a way to get paid for helping clients define and plan a project. So I was mostly asking if this is that sort of thing vs. the sitemap or wireframe you'd create once you got into the project.
