I remember in a previous life that one of my professors said "Always take a glass of water to meetings in case they start talking about price fixing. Spill it in your lap and politely excuse yourself so you won't be able to vote on anything."
I doubt any water was spilled when "cooking the books" was discussed. Recently, there has been much talk of this phenomenon in health care.
However, I was not particularly disturbed until I read this article. A great way to cap off Nurses' Week...NOT!
Disgusting...
