Movie Quotes? Whatever......Military Doctor IEEEEE........
The point being attempted was rather than just bitching about a
situation, why not try to improve it....if the lighting circuit was
overloaded by a hand dryer, it must have been one helluva unit to pop
a 20 amp circuit. Why not place some paper towels in the area, and
put an out of order sign on the dryer, or just close down the mens
room and make the ladies room unisex? God gave us a mind to use,,,try
it. Being an electronics hobbyist, I was unaware that flourescent
bulbs were not replaceable.
I prefer not to divulge the names of my past "high profile"
employers, but if you know your stuff, there are only a handfull of
practices that perform more than 500 penetrating keratoplasty
procedures yearly, artificial iris implants and scleral fixated IOLs.
I have never delvered a pizza there, but have refilled the soda
machine, primarily because it was out of product, and I wanted a
soda, I didn't hop on the web and cry about the machine being empty.
The practice manager tried in earnest to reduce waiting time for
patients, only to discover that we had more patients than time, we
employed 3 O.D.s 2 Fellows and 9 techs so backups were not due to a
lack of staff, most patients didn't enjoy waiting, but were willing
to do so, as they were receiving a level of surgical care unavailable
elsewhere.Patients that were on a tight schdule were offered the
first appointments of the day or right after lunch, hence less
waiting.You must understand that these unfortunate patients had
serious ophthalmic issues and already been passed off by there PCPs
or told by less astute M.D.s that there was nothing available to
improve their situation.
Lets just remember,,without patients, there would not be jobs for
either of us,and it is OUR DUTY to ensure that the patient receives
the best care we are capable of providing, this includes going above
and beyond a "job description" and doing whatever it takes to
accomplish that. I think if I was being way overbooked, I would have
some of those patients moved to another day, or tell them there would
be a considerable wait if they perfer to keep the initial appointment.
Where there is a will there is a WAY, but not everyone subscribes to
that.
OH,BTW, it only takes one doctor to change a lightbub, he (she)
mearly holds the bulb up to the socket,,and waits for the world to
revolve around it......
