The Staff | emerald's Blog

Back in our little family practice office... Besides the Doctor, there are 3 other employees.

The receptionist. My mother. Fiery little red-head, quick to laugh, joke, and run her mouth too loud and long. (now you know where I get it from! lol). And she's even quicker to anger if provoked. Yet she is the most revered and most feared of all the staff (including the doc.). She is your best friend or worse enemy! Patients can't get enough of her! lol. She's also office manager and billing personel. I'm soooo proud of her!!

The nurse. Harder to describe. She's fantastic with procedure, and guesses what the doc needs or wants before HE does!! She's great with little children and elderly. She pretty much dislikes everyone else inbetween!! lol. She's also a hound dog when it comes to sniffing out drug seekers, drunks, and inconsistancies in the charts or people's prescribed meds. I like and respect this woman for what she's taught me, and for taking me in.

Me. The jack of all trades. I was hired to give EKG's, PFT's, ultra sounds, breathing treatments,ect. Next thing I know, they find out I can do vitals, and I'm doing nurse work-ups! Then I'm taught the receptionist's job for days mom might be absent. Then I'm assisting procedures--BLAH! And there you have it.

Sometimes it is true : big works come in small packages.
