If you have a healthcare co-worker who you believe is a Badass MuFKR and deserves a $1000 bonus, nominate them here https://www.badassmufkr.com/ A Badass MuFKR is someone you know you can rely on during a sh*t storm of a full moon on a Friday night. Someone who, when you see at work, you automatically know it’s gonna be a good shift because that MuFKR showed up. I want to meet them and highlight them on my platform and give them $1000 for being a Badass MuFKR. Let’s finally show the world the amazing people in our Healthcare community.
