Prior to our moving here (which was one of the prime reasons) was because of all the doctors offices here. Doctors need ancillary employees don't they? Apparently not! We sent out over 60 resume's and received not ONE reply. We took the 5 day rent a house plan so we could check it out.
I visited over 20 doctor's offices in those 5 days. Not one of them had
radiology or labratory facilities.
We have lived here almost 3 years now, there has been one ad for radiology and none for lab in the local fishwrap.
Luckily I was able to wangle a day or two from the mobile company I used to work for in Orlando. They branched out into the Leesburg,Ocala and Gainesville area.
Hopefully with the new VA facility (14 years with the VA) and the new hosital (26 years in hospital work) I might be able to find a job a few days a week.
I don't know but am wondering if having xrays is being replaced by having ct scans? Or is being used more?
