Thursday...2.23.2017.
Person: I want to speak with a supervisor. I don't want to see my doctor any longer"
ME: all right, but the protocol is that you see the provider once more to express that you would like to change providers.
Person: All right, but i still want to speak with a supervisor.
ME: no problem

ME:(to supervisor 1): are you able to speak with a patient?
Sup1: can they wait?
ME: yes.
Sup1; all right

I decided to go down the hall to see what rooms are available. Sup 2 walks in.
ME: Oh, just the person I need. I'll wait till you get settled.
Sup2: thank you.
ME (to supervisor 1): Sup2 is here, I'm just waiting for them to settle in.
Sup2: Great

ME(to sup2): after explaining what was happening to Sup2. i was told to tell them AGAIN what I already told them.
ME: (to sup1): I spoke with sup2 and was told to tell the patient what i already told them.
Sup1: Did you call sup2 back?
ME: I told her exactly what I just told you? I'll call her again. and I'll send an inbasket to the providers and cc Sup2.

ME: (to sup2) The 2nd patient still wants to speak with a sup.
Sup2: I'm with the first patient. See if sup1 is available. If not, if  patient wants to wait, I'll speak with them.

ME: (to sup2): Patient is willing to wait.
Sup2: Did you not ask Alex?
ME: No, you said you would see the patient if he was willing to wait.
Sup2: I'm with the first patient. See if Sup1 will see patient.

ME: (To Sup1): Hello, I spoke with Sup2 and was told to see if you would see the 2nd patient.
Sup1: Why can't Sup2 see patient.
ME: I don't know. I explained everything to patient and patient still wants to see a manager.
Sup1: what about >>>blah...blah...blah? Call sup2 and let her know.
ME: I did and sup2 told me to see if you're available to see patient.
Sup1: call her and tell her what the patient said.
ME: i explained to Sup2 again. Can you call her and tell her?
Sup1: It'll be quicker to see the patient. what is the MRN?
ME: 1111111
Sup1; Oh, you know what, this patient sees a clinician. Have clinician speak with patient. This is clinicial. patient should speak with clinician about this.
ME: UUUUHHHHHHH.......OK

ME (to clinician): Hi I just spoke with sup1 and was told you must speak with this patient regarding changing providers.
Clinician: I just saw this patient.
ME: did patient speak with you regarding changing providers?
Clinician: yes, but my supervisor is not here. I don't know that to do.
ME: oh, we don't switch providers for patients. I explained to patient that he must see provider one last time before a switch can happen.
Clinician: I don't know what to do.
ME: Call Alex.
Clinician: My supervisor is not here.
ME: Call Alex.

ME: Good morning, if you would kindly fill out these registration forms.

PATIENT: Sure

Patient returns registration forms and is with patient. I proceed to scan the registration in the patients' chart. One section in the form asks for ethnic background or ancestory. Patients can fill-in up to four.

SNOW DAY ~!!!!!!!!!!

TODAY IS A SNOW DAY !!!!!!
We get to go home early. It was a bit confusing at first. we got an email that we are operational.
Then we got a message that the weather is being monitoring.
Then we got a message that we are closing at 10am.
Well, couldn't they know that when the snow started falling this morning?
But it's all right!!!!
WE GOING HOME EARLY !!!!!!!

You Can Not Make This Stuff Up !!!

Here we are in another day. Let's get started !!!!!
The way the office is set up, we have a glass door with glass windows. Before you come into the office, there is a glass encased stairway.

Patient enters the office.
PSR: Hi, good morning, do you have an appointment?
PATIENT: I was sent up here to see a social worker and was told to sit on the outside of the glass door.  (patient then pointed to the outside of the office and asked) Is that the outside?
 PSR: Yes it is.
