I sure hope an oncologist has learned how to find books in the library himself. And even an oncologist cannot provide patients with a new procedure. The health insurance companies have standardized care and it is very difficult for them to opt out of the norm.

you think an oncologist should spend his/her time looking for books in a library?

This scenario is just bizarre. My dh is a doctor; he can easily pull up any research he needs from digital libraries without going to a library or needing assistance from a librarian.

Agree. Dh has always pulled together his own research. Never even heard of using a librarian to do it for him before, sometimes one article leads a trail to another that may not seem correlated to the case but new info is gleaned from it. I'm not sure how a librarian would know exactly what they are looking for when for when in many difficult cases doctors are searching for that needle in a haystack.

That said, I do have great respect for librarians and their work and hope that there will always be proper masters level librarians in our public libraries and school. The amount of help I've received from them in school and college was immense. I've just never noticed it with regard to the medical field.

Maybe so. Good for him. Those databases of searchable articles are not free however, and not always user friendly. Organizations, like large hospitals and large medical schools/teaching hospitals, employ medical librarians to manage that overload of information. They manage subscriptions, manage information budgets, and can quickly and efficiently find related articles in a subject area. My husband is a physician too, and has often gone to the librarian for an article, because he doesn't want to spend time tracking the article down. He is happy when it appears in his email in pdf format with a nice note from the medical center librarian.

I am not sure what is so bizarre about that.

Look, I value the work librarians do, but this is just a weird example. My husband has free access to the database because his employer (hospital) pays a subscription fee. I think this is just one of the many costs of doing business . Having a librarian do research for professionals just isn't done anymore. I never asked a librarian to do legal research for me. I'd find a better example to support their importance, I'm sure there are many.

Gee, I'm a law librarian. Have been for 25 years in both private and public arenas. I can tell you first hand that I've been bombarded over the years with requests for legislative research, legislative history work, business research and more. It's great you do your own research. Others choose not to. I've been told by many attorneys that they are thankful for my research skills and the services I provide.

Jack all. Check out pinktruth.com some time (which is about Mary Kay but it's all the same thing.) The people at the top can do very well but everyone is basically paying the company instead of the company paying them.

I know he's been around a while and is very well known, but I was still shocked to see Jim Vance makes $1M+.

"A local TV insider says few local TV personalities now make more than $400,000. He estimates that meteorologist Bob Ryan, who recently left Channel 4 for Channel 7 over staff pay cuts, makes about $600,000 at WJLA.
Our source also estimates that Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon get $1.5 million each for ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption.

Here are others:

Wolf Blitzer,reporter/host, CNN, $3 million.

Jim Vance, news anchor, NBC4, $1.3 million.

Don Graham, CEO, Washington Post Company, $412,740.

Katharine Weymouth, CEO, Washington Post Media, $472K"

I have a friend who is a reporter for a local "good morning" type show. She goes on location each morning to report on that days event. Think: show up at the end of the local marathon race to catch people to chat; or going to local pizza joint holding a fundraiser, etc.

She works awful hours (i think sitting in makeup chair by 3:30am. She makes $50,000/yr. i reviewed her contract. Thought it was way too little for all the stunts they require her to do each week (ie dunk tank...)

Also know SAHM - no stipend. I pretty much spent everything i wanted/needed for the 5yrs I stayed at home. So I guess no real limit.

Im back at work as a govt lawyer--make too little, imo. But the hours are very good. And no blackberry ever and never evenings and weekends, so i guess you pay for that.
