My last day in this clinic is 5/10. I am moving to a job much closer to home that will allow me to work 4 10-hour shifts and will pay me $14k/year more to do it. I will still be doing Occ med but will also be doing urgent care as well and the possibility of seeing peds and the flu has me giddy. Well, i guess i'll have to wait on the flu. by the way, did anyone catch the flu this season? I heard so little about it I thought we might have found a cure. So much has happened in the clinic lately that I felt it was time to get out. front office staff turnover is bad. If they do stay they are not terribly great. a new office manager means that all the processes that kept my going smooth flew out the window. Referrals aren't getting placed in a timely fashion and patient care is starting to suffer. Patient's complain to me that the ladies up front are rude and don't answer the phone or return phone calls. I have seen a patient for a month and not have a single referral placed. I ask for the same things over and over, but I still get sub-par work from them. I have let the higher-ups know of these problems but my concerns went mostly unanswered. At best answered but ineffectively. So now I going to work with a big company with lots of resources and talent. I'll be working in a very urban environment as opposed to a semi-rural environment now. I hope things go well there - i think they will. Wife has been pushing for a new home so it looks like we will be getting a new home. It will of course be much larger and twice the cost of home now. The homes where we live now aren't that great in terms of quality and size until you get close to $500k. God i wish we didn't have to spend that much. Looks like we will though. I must get some space of my own to play the drums or paint - I've done neither in more than a year.
