This week at my experience I had seen many crazy things with new patients coming into the office. I witnessed my first patient with an STD to be tested and diagnosed with a disease. The reaction of the patient to me was very surprising because it was as if they already knew and they weren't nervous at all. After I talked with the doctor about treatment for this disease I was shocked hearing everything needed to control it. After this patient left we were informed that one of our female patients test results showed signs of ovarian cancer. I listened in on the PA call her and explain to her what they had found. I thought this was a good thing for me to watch because of the way she had spoken to the patient about her results. This was something I really took in and will remember for the future because I believe this is crucial in speaking to an ill patient.
I feel that the most important trait to have as an employee is confidence. I feel this is the most important because whether you are working in the medical field or in an office you need to show that you know what you are doing. In my first few days working in the doctors office I was very nervous and didn't show my confidence what so ever. I noticed that this had made my patients very anxious with me in their room. After observing this I decided to change my whole attitude and always walk into a room with complete confidence. This one hundred percent made a difference the first time I walked into a patients room. They were more open and talkative with me and definitely showed they were more comfortable. After this I say hands down this is the most important trait to have.
