Pissed

I just had a job I was going to be starting tell me that the doctors office across the hall doesn't like me. Apparently the fact that I like to have regular hours and not "just stay until the patients feel like coming in" is asking the patinets to conform to MY schedule. Umm, the posted hours are 8-3 (4 on clinic days). Not "when you feel like coming in". Fuck heads. If my almost boss doesn't get them straightened out, I'm walking. 2 weeks notice, I'm not completely unprofessional, but that's it. And the hours for the next 2 weeks will be 8-3, because that's what I feel like doing. They are lucky they had anyone, never mind a competent English speaker like myself.

good luck finding someone.

Irresponsibility

Client has been getting 1 seroquel every day. After a while, the doctor decides 1 week at a time would be okay. The very first week the client gets a week supply, the client somehow manages to go through or lose 4 days out of the 7. Of note is that the client has substance abuse problems and seroquel is occasionally used on the street to achieve an "altered mental state".

Client comes to me and insists I should give the next supply early. I reply that 1 week supply was given out and the next supply will be given out in 7 days from the first supply. Client says her drug plan allows early fills. Which is true. However, this client is not exactly a responsible member of society (did I mention her drug plan is social assistance?) and I am uncomfortable giving out a drug which is very likely being diverted.

Client goes to see doctor. Doctor decides client can have the pills early, but back on the 1 day at a time schedule.

And the client wonders why.

Nice Try. No Cigar!

Woman comes in and asks for a repeat on her clonazepam. Which her doctor will only let her haveon a weekly basis. (you can guess why) She watched me carefully count her pills-twice, put them in a vial and give them to her.

The next day she came in and said I had shorted her 6 tabs. I pulled out the hardcopy of the prescription where I had written "double counted" and pointed out that I counted them twice.

"Oh yeah" she said,"I remember watching you do that."

Buh bye
