Maybe not a huge deal to most, but the use of "OCD" in this sentence made me wince a bit: "They put up with our OCD tendencies and pulled long hours to make sure we walked away with a perfect mark."

Not sure it's good form for a company dedicated to healthcare to misuse a medical term like that.

Edit: They've since updated the post. Thanks for doing that!

Likewise. I've mild OCD and I wouldn't wish it on anyone as although it doesn't interfere with my life all that much, it's an incredible annoyance.

Being picky over details or striving to make something perfect (in your view) is not obsessive compulsive disorder.

You're 100% right. Edited.

Still makes a similar OCD remark in the image halfway down the page.

Not to nitpick :P

Swapping out the screengrab too, will be updated soon.

That's brilliant, and very professional of you. Thanks

True, they meant OCPD tendencies which is easy to confuse with OCD given the overlapping terminology. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt.
