Unfortunately the medical clinics want 15 min appts for everyone. I'm a medical assistant and lost my job because i couldn't get a 5-7 min average rooming patients. Think about it, with rooming time being, at best, 5 mins, you get at most, 10 mins with your provider for your appt, most of the time regardless what you have going on. Don't expect to be seen for more than one thing, and if you have more than one thing to discuss, prioritize them and only bring up the top 2, unless you can get a longer appt. It sucks, because a lot of people have stuff that takes the medical assistant more time to go through, and more tome for the doctor to go through. A good reason doctors run late is because they are taking care of their patients properly, but the system goes by numbers. Patients are not people, they are dollar signs, and provider productivity is determined by how many patients they see daily. The place I was at til Friday made it painfully clear. Every day there was an email that gave the statistics, who met their "goal" and who was running late and why. They also kept track of how many prescriptions were written and how many of those were sent to the clinic pharmacy, because that was more $. Literally, the system was a community healthcare center, but the primary goal was to keep the shareholders happy. We were told to do as many services that were due as we could for every visit, "because we don't know when the person will come in again." That is counter productive to the "5-7 min average rooming time." Yes, I understand that doctors want to see patients as soon as possible, but there needs to be a balance. Yes, for the simple patient that is healthy, nothing major going on, etc., it can be done, but not every patient is simple. Many are complicated, and there are some doctors that make them even more complicated than they need to be. I kinda feel I got shafted, because I had 2 days a week with a provider that made most patients more complicated than they needed to be, in part because of the "we don't know when they'll be back" thing. Instead of letting the patient's provider deal with non-urgent stuff, she tried to do it all. Instead of waiting for records or even finding out where to request records from, she wanted them now, and I was supposed to request them from public health if the patient had a name that suggested they might be a refugee. Yep, just what I want, to spend time requesting records when I don't know where to request them from, or sending the request to public health and have them waste time looking for records that may not even exist in their system.

Ok, rant over, sorry.

Sounds like it was a tatery place to work. Hopefully you can find somewhere better. Do they have home health aid jobs there? The lady who came to our house after my mom's hip surgery was super nice and she said her job was really nice (except for the driving in crappy weather part).

Who the hell did we tick off? It's either bad, or reallllyyyyy bad. I'm glad I got feed last weekend (yay for payday!) and I stocked up on food. But hoping the electricity stays on. AND my kids normally go to their dad's on Friday night, but the big one has competition practice at 9 on Saturday so I might just keep them both until Saturday afternoon..
