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.
