...exceptional reputation increases patients’ desire to have their hernia operations performed at Shouldice hospital. As per the customer service, the patient should arrive one day before the operation and stay one day after for a total of 3 days. The first day gives the patient the opportunity to understand his or her situation by meeting with other patients and sharing their personal experiences. Inaddition, the patient pairs with another who has similar interests and hopes. As a result, the patient forgets their fear and enjoys their time. The journey does not end by leaving the hospital; Shouldice has a yearly event where all patients are invited to mingle, socialize, and see the doctors and staff. Currently the hospital has 90 beds, 12 full time surgeons, 7 part-time assistances, 5 operating rooms, a patient recovery room, a laboratory, and six examining rooms. The hospital does 150 operations per week, 5 days a week. With each operation, the patient stays a total of 3 days in the hospital.Using the information that we have, the hospital utilization of its beds is: Beds available: 90 beds X 7 days= 630 per week Actual utilization Monday to Sunday = 60+90+90+ 90+60+30+30= 450 per week Efficiency = 450/630=...

...INTRODUCTION The Shouldice Hospital, located in Thornhil, Ontario is considered a global leader in hernia repair and recovery. The Shouldice Hospital was established in 1945 by Dr. Edward Earle Shouldice. Major Dr. Edward Earl Shouldice saw many men denied enlistment into the army because they were deemed physically unfit to serve due to the need of hernia surgery. Dr. Shouldice developed an innovative technique to repair hernias during this World War II era and has been known in the medical world for his superior methods ever since. Shouldice created a method that included factors such as a local anesthetic, the abnormal nature of the surgical procedure itself, encouraging movement following the surgery, and many other postoperative methods used by his team. Using these factors, Dr. Shouldice developed a surgical technique for repairing hernias that were superior and much more efficient than other methodologies. SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths Very efficient process Specialized Expertise Culture, atmosphere unlike hospitals Reliable and high quality service Competitive Pricing Minimal overhead Capacity utilization Customer satisfaction Quick recovery time for patient Weaknesses Narrow product line Inability to market due to inability to keep up with potential demand Location (Decrease in demand during winter months) Number of locations Age of some key personnel Opportunities New locations, Possible location in United States Create new market segments...

You were very distracted during your ENGL 101 class last Friday; you have talked with your instructor about you failing it. I know that you are trying to solve your problems by yourself; however, I think that at this point you need help from our tutors to keep you focused on completing your assignments. You need to come to Achieve and work for at least 20 hours a week to make up all the points you have missed so far. When you come, do not work by yourself, ask a tutor to be with you, the number of hours you have spent at Achieve over the past weeks is in discordance with the number of hours you have worked with tutors....

...12 weeks to peak, but it could vary a little because of an injury or something but this is the basic cycle he likes to follow. The first four weeks he uses 4 sets of 6 reps in the bench press. On the 4th set he goes limit. He uses each rep as a 5-pound indicator for his next workout. He starts the cycle at 400 lbs. Example – 400 x 6, 400 x 6, 400 x6, 400 x limit (e.g. 10) So, from the last set, five pounds for each rep over six would work out to (10 reps minus 6) 4 times 5 (five pound for each rep over six)equals 20 (pounds more next workout). Example (next workout) – 420 x 6, 420 x 6, 420 x 6, 420 x 8. Many 4-20’s! Then, by following the same plan – 2 reps more than 6 in the last set equals a 10 lb. weight increase at the next workout. The highest he has reached in this program is 470 pounds for 4 sets of 6. These workouts fall twice a week of every fourth day, as desired and as his work schedule with the railroad with the railroad with the railroad allows. After 4 weeks Doug goes to a double program. One workout is the same 4 sets of 6, and the next workout is 5 sets of 3. This runs for 4 weeks or up to 4 weeks before the meet. At that time he does only 5 sets of 3 for 2 weeks. 2 weeks before the meet he goes to 5 sets of 2, timing it where he gets three workouts in but rests for five days before the meet. In past programs he had done one limit set of reps at the end of his workout with anywhere from 50 to 100 lbs. under what he was working with his program. His normal...

...describes the case of a 57-year old man who started administering enoxaparin for a deep vein thrombosis and subsequently developed elevated liver transaminases. Though there are other reports of adverse hepatic effects from low molecular weight heparins, this seems to be an underreported event, especially given the widespread use of this type of medication for anticoagulation.[1-4, 6-8] We hope to increase awareness among the medical community of hepatic injury as a side effect of enoxaparin, a commonly used anticoagulant medication.

...However, the first three goals are more of a mission statement while the fourth is an objective for the company. The problem is there no plan and one objective. What is he going to do if the company doesn't net the $25,000? Or what if it nets the $25,000 but there is not enough cash to sustain the business? There need to be more objectives to make allowances for these types of situations. There needs to be a plan of action where goals change from period to period. Otherwise, the business cannot succeed. 2.
