During my week I was excited to find out that we were required to give our employer a gift. I decided to get my employer an essential oils diffuser. The oil's I chose were calming oils to help everyone on a stressful day. I can't wait to hear back from everyone to see if they like it! In the office I was able to talk with a few new doctors who came in from GP Beaumont. They shared with me some of their experiences in the cath labs. After hearing their stories I was really interested in sitting in on a cath lab surgery. I then found out that as soon as I begin medical assisting I will be able to do so. This experiences has not only given me so much knowledge on new medicine but is allowing me to see everything that goes on behind closed doors with my own eyes. I was truly surprised by their offer to let me sit in on a procedure. The doctors at East Lake have shown me that not ALL doctors are in it for the money and truly like teaching and sharing their knowledge with others.

During my week I was able to finally catch up on all of the work that was building up. I was then able to listen in on a few crazy phone calls with doctors from other buildings. It amazed me how those doctors think they can boss everyone around. One of them from a st johns office was asking us to contact a patient that we didn't see at our office. Listening to how mad the doctor got when we told them that wasn't our job was extremely rude and unprofessional. That day taught me to never act like that because it will only make the situation worse. Staying calm in that profession is something I feel is hard for every doctor but should be something they keep in mind when they're under more stress than they can handle.
During my week I really started to realize how hectic things can get. In one day the office sees 200 patients and after having so many at one time work has started to get behind. I never realized how many patients we see a day until the amount of work I was given this week. It's crazy to see how behind someone can get in only a few hours. It has become really important to me to show up in time. I love being able to get everything done at the end of the day just to make things a little easier on everyone else. I am hoping that next week will be less stressful on everyone and finally catch up on the huge amount paper work we have left.
During my week a lot of new changes happened. A few new girls were brought in to work with the medical assistants and a few were also brought in to work with medical records. I was able to meet all of the girls and it made me super excited. They were all really kind and it made me realize how lucky I am to be in a place where everyone I mean EVERYONE is the nicest they can be. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't ask me how my day is or tell me goodmorning. It is very rare to work with people like that. I am so lucky to be surrounded by positive people who are always there to help. Even on an off day everyone is in the best mood possible. Eastlake is so far my favorite place to be during the day and I hope I can stick around for as long as I can!
During this week of my experience things have become very boring. I love the environment of the office but the work has been staying the same. The beginning of the week was very slow for me and there was barely any work for me to do. I found myself finding little things to do because I was finished with everything they had for me. I'm hoping next week will be different and I will have more of a variety of work. I did find the week to have some interesting patients. The phone calls I listened in on made me realize how rude some people can be!
During the week I started to feel like this experience has made me have to grow up a lot faster than I have planned. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad thing it just made me realize how fast childhood really goes by. Being around only adults at work has made me grow as a person and see the reality of things. This experience has truly helped me grow up into the person I have always wanted to be. My co workers have been so helpful and kind throughout my whole experience that has helped me feel comfortable in a new setting. As the week had gone on things have stayed calm but have been very knowledgeable. I was able to talk to one of the doctors about how exciting cardiology is. Everyday he says he learns something new that he never went over as much in college as he should have. Hearing all of his advice was really helpful to me. I'm so happy I have such amazing people around me at my experience.
During week two of my experience I was surprised to hear all of the gossip going on in the office. The nurses were complaining about the doctors and how they didn't have a lot of respect for the other staff. They way they were talking about it was very openly with the other staff. I never expected there to be as much gossip as there was. The whole week this went on and I did my best to avoid it. That much gossip was something I've never seen during work. Even though I might agree with the nurses and other staff I know staying out of the drama is a good idea. Other than the drama I was given more work than usual this week but was excited to finish it all.
My last two goals for this experience have been the same but I am determined to accomplish them. I will admit I've always been afraid to break from my shell and these past few months I have been getting better but I am not exactly where I want to be. My hopes for the end of my senior year will be to accomplish my goal. I will do everything in my power to give myself opportunities to do so. I know if I put myself in situations I normally wouldn't this will help me. Being around new people and new experience will help me open up. Without a doubt in my mind I know I can do this. This is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done but it is something I know needs to change.
During week 10 of my experience I was waiting for something exciting to happen. After the week was over I was let down with another boring week. The one thing about this experience that I don't like is that it's made me very impatient. Everyday I see the staff struggle to find help for the Medical Assistants. I could never understand why I have to wait until May to help them. This frustrates me everyday because I could easily help them so they don't fall behind.
Out of the 15 things I found not being able to use your last name very strange. Using your last name helps everyone be identified. I know it's Disney and everything is a big deal but they shouldn't be able to take your last name away. |
