Medical “Professionals”
You’d assume that people who work in health care would be really organized and on top of it. But they really aren’t. Your job is my actual life so it matters if it’s accurate. I once had an MRI scheduled but somebody somewhere needed to approve it and they completely dropped the ball. The day before the MRI the hospital called and canceled it.
There’s a whole approval department and my approval fell through the cracks. I know that there’s more to the job than getting approval but I think it’s a main component of it. I felt similar to when the wrong swallow test was administered. One time I needed to be transferred from Elkins Park to Philadelphia and somebody forgot. My mother and boyfriend at the time were in Philadelphia waiting for me. In total they waited 5 hours.
Recently I had prescriptions for speech, physical and occupational therapies. You can’t just show up. At first the hospital asked for the scripts to be emailed which was promptly done. The hospital couldn’t read them. Then they asked for physical copies after my mother and I emailed them and we did exactly that. Recently I had a speech evaluation and low and behold I was asked again for my script that was already handed in. They obviously lost it. I don’t have much faith in people working in the system. It’s not out of a feeling, it’s from experience.
People are bad at their jobs across the board. A doctor who graduates as the last in the class, is still called doctor.
