And would somebody please stop deleting Camino?@JMN is the DLN historian in charge of the archives.
They will if the doctor lists a fake lab name. They can set up an account and send directly to CMC. ThefingerCMC!
I'm so happy this thread got going, however, dissappointed with the posts. I will pass the URL to the president of HS lab division. I hate the disappointments several of you are sharing and I am going to try to change it. I don't think it can happen overnight, but we will see. I I make any significant progress.
That's a trap. HS called my office and threatened to drop us based on my previous post of needing shade fluid. Even though I am not affiliated with the lab in any way on here, I use this forum for techs to communicate as a personal learning and venting tool, they figured out who I am and called the owner of the lab, and threatened my employment. That's how uncle works, throw their weight around to get what they want. It didn't work, yet.
They are on my "DO NOT DEAL WITH" list for quite some time...@RCKSTR
That's ridiculous! I think Henry Schein will be on my Do Not Buy list along with Dentsply.
i don't work for HS or Zahn so i have no stake in this, but i get the feeling alot of us are used to working in a smaller environment which provides significantly more room to move and breathe.
I'm not saying Zahn couldn't have done something for you extra @RCKSTR but at the same time, it's not so cut or dry nor is it as easy. Yes, there is a TON of red tape - but that's also because they are combed over through and through and then raked over some more embers by shareholders and customers alike.
This is why companies like CAP or Nowak or Whipmix exist because they have more freedom. But at the same time, i don't think there is anyone at CAP that would say the merger was not beneficial....things like being limited to how large of a Purchase Order could be made then is only a memory now, and today they can throw down a large PO and get the first DWX-52DC's out before almost anyone else - if anyone else remembers, back in the day, CAP was never first out, they had to get pre-orders in before they could even get them.
I've known / worked with / yelled at alot of the current players there - Ken, Beth, Andrew, Rita.........we can yell all we want, but if we, as consumers don't take the time nor due diligence to connect, or at least buy Ken a beer - i think it's a bit unfair. And believe me, there are PLENTY of things for me to be upset, even currently, about towards Zahn and HS - but there are also many pluses as well, and i don't think anyone that actually knows any of the ppl i listed would ever accuse them of not working hard.
But in all honesty, if you needed something quick and shipped over the border - reaching out on DLN or a smaller party would make more sense overall right? If I want to run an extra ethernet cable into an extra room i'm not gonna call the building manager to call our regular cable guy right? I'll call some local guy who can do it real quick?
i am SURE i'll get flamed for this, but i just wanted to voice that in this time and age - we are in need of working as closely together more than ever. IF ANYTHING - to make sure we catch wind of any changes that we need to react to - but really - to create the right relationship.
Completely disagree. I worked for the largest milling center in western canada at one time, and if a customer needed a special rush or favor, I would be there until 2 in the morning, or on weekends, multiple trips to the facility, drop cases off at the greyhound so they would get it on a Sunday, whatever it took to keep the customer (not account) happy and their business succeeding.
