Pretty good week at work. She does make me laugh sometimes with her ways, but they are her ways so 99% of the time I go along. My client had one day where the world was not well and her emotions were raw. This type of day is hard on her and it makes it hard to reason with her, but we muddle through. I am so angry at her rheumatologist that I reported her to the State licensing board for patient negligence. For months, my client and/or myself have done everything possible per the Dr's instructions to contact, provide information etc. to no avail. My client has had one telemed with this doctor in two plus years. She is in so much pain and needs to be seen in person, but no one gets back to her. She only receives I think one prescription from this doctor and the rest come from her primary care physician. We are in the process of trying to transfer this prescription and they have reached out a dozen times to the doctors office to no avail. I warned my client previously that this is wrong on so many levels and she should report her and the office. My client is too afraid to do anything, she is frozen in fear when it comes to this doctor. I know everyone blames the office staff, but sorry in my opinion it starts at the top. As I indicated in my complaint if there is nothing more to be done for my client then be professional and tell her. I'm trying my best to advocate for her. Even writing this makes me angry. I have not told my client yet about the complaint. We'll see what happens if anything.
On a happier note, today is my client's birthday and I left her presents on Friday. I taped up the bag with a note to not open until today. I also wrapped everything in the bag just in case she peaks. She found the bag after I left on Friday and let me know. She promised not to open. She made me laugh when she said, "I won't open as some how you would find out!"
I had an awesome dinner with wonderful former colleagues. As we chatted a few former colleagues were seated near us so you can imagine the noise level in the back corner of the restaurant. On the way out another former colleague was sitting in the bar area so more hugs all around.
I was surrounded by lots of cardinals this past week. My parents 65th Wedding Anniversary would have been last week so many memories popping up. I also noticed, every time I question myself whether I'm doing the right thing for my client a cardinal appears to keep me on track. My angels I know watch over me closely.
This past week I finished reading: "MY DAUGHTER'S KEEPER" by Adiva Geffen - based on a true story of a Jewish Holocaust Survivor. "EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU" by Celeste Ng - opens with death of a teenager and deals with culture, family secrets, and love. "NIGHTWORK" by Nora Roberts - a thief with ethics and morals. I also watched "SHERYL" a documentary portrait about Sheryl Crow.
