Not Right
Today, I had an appointment to speak with an employee relations person at work. I had finally had enough of the antics of one of the 7 doctors I work with. I vented to a friend who works in HR, as I wasn't sure who in that department I needed to speak to. He hooked me up with Eileen, who let me rant this morning. This doc, whom I'm going to keep anonymous here as "Dr. B," is not a nice person. She speaks down to the support staff in a way that insinuates that between the 4 of us, we'd never be able to figure out how to get dressed in the morning. That's when she's feeling nice.
I'd had it when she yelled at me and T in front of a bunch of patients. I had it when she did it to Kristin in front of patients, families and co-workers. She does it all of the time to all of us. It's explicitly against the Dana code of ethics. She could stand to loose her job because I've ratted her out.
I was only a little worried about retaliation until I was informed that my identity would remain secret. Then I felt relief. All of this load of bad karma has been released to its original owner.
"She's under a lot of stress," is the excuse that's given when I go to my superiors with it. No shit. I imagine all of the doctors in the institute have to deal with bad shit all day long. Oddly enough, none of them seem to take it out on the admin staff but her. Does that mean that maybe she shouldn't be a doctor? Or is this just the excuse that's given so I'll feel bad because she's the bitch?
Irony being what it is, I also recieved a call from the Group Health Cooperative in Seattle, who want to interview me (via teleconference) on Monday. My birthday. :) This is the second time they've called me, wanting to get me for an interview. I have a feeling if I don't get this position that I will be working for them in '06. The further away from Harvard, the better off I'll be....
I'll be less cryptic tomorrow, I swear.
