Harrisco: A Predatory Company


Harrisco: A Predatory Company



In brief I was hired by Harrisco (a South Korean company) to edit science and medical articles that were written by Asian professionals, mostly South Koreans. The English was rough and needed intense editing. A plentiful number of papers were downloaded to me. I did not receive any criticism from them while the editing process moved forward. After editing 67 journal articles I requested payment. The friendly interaction from them now turned dark. I became the worst editor on the planet for merely asking for payment due. I will not harp on the negativity aimed at me only to state they had no intention of paying me. If I had done a net search of this predatory company dozens of complaints, similar to mine, would have been discovered. Harrisco seeks English editors, advertises on Craigslist and other sites, snares them with promises and even a limited contract then cuts you down when you request your money. After multiple negative exchanges and the threat that I would inform the South Korean embassy, not far from my home, they relented and paid me a partial payment. Harrisco continues to owe me for 13 files. Harrisco has a minor profile on LinkedIn. I never met dishonorable South Koreans until I fell into the clutches of these misfits. Advice: stay away from this company because it is not worth the headache, the effort and or lack of compensation that goes with this job.

SPEX COURSE CURRENT ACCURATE AND INFORMATIVE

                SPEX COURSE CURRENT ACCURATE AND INFORMATIVE Special Purpose Examination (SPEX) is an exam forced on physicians who have been out of practice for a defined period of time. This exam is also given to physicians when their fund of knowledge comes into question. Boards of Medicine provide minimal direction in the contents of this exam. The Federation of State Medical Boards, the creator of the SPEX, does not provide much assistance to help potential examinees pass this test. Therefore, it is up to the physician to seek help to prepare for this very unfair exam. Many aspects of this exam’s contents reflect back to our medical school training decades ago. Books on the market are generally antiquated or do not represent the exam’s true contents. With the latter stated this was Dr. Davis’ rationale to create a concise course to help those confronting this exam to have an improved chance o...

SPEX: Prepare Properly with a Review by Mark Davis MD

SPEX: Prepare Properly with a Review by Mark Davis MD Forced to take the Special Purpose Examination (SPEX) by your state medical board, prepare yourself with someone knowledgeable in this exam, Mark Davis MD. Through interactions with a multitude of examinees Dr. Davis has a bank of current information which can help potential test candidates with their studies. Dr. Davis’ review encompasses question content and subject matter on current exams. SPEX is a complex exam consisting of 336 questions taken in sections over a one day time period. This exam’s fail rate is very high and state medical boards do not provide candidates with information helpful to pass this exam. In a sense the SPEX is designed to fail because the exam requires a bank of information not in a physician’s general readings or continuing education courses. Examinees have failed this exam, in some cases, 3 or more times. With an extraordinary cost both in time to prepare and test entry fee a SPEX an examinee ...

CRUCIFIXION OF BRETT KAVANAUGH

                                 CRUCIFIXION OF BRETT KAVANAUGH By Mark Davis, MD Journalist, Author, Media Advisor and Science Tutor One more time in history a crucifixion of a righteous man is occurring for all the World to see. Brett Kavanaugh has been set upon by numerous demons, we call Democrats, to side tract his rightfully earned ascendency to the Supreme Court. In the final hours of the nominating process an incendiary bomb was thrown into the mix by the devil’s helpers themselves. Senator Diane Feinstein received notification from a person claiming to have been sexually abused by Judge Kavanaugh 36 years ago. Under psycho therapy Dr. Ford recalled painful moments of a sexual assault, during her high school years, who she believes was caused by Brett Kavanaugh. Though she claims others in the room that night visualized the assault all of her so-called witnesses either deny being...
