  1. "The Doctors don't know how to help you."

    The PCP is fully aware that the receptionist is functioning as a medical practitioner.
  2. Medical Assistants in the office

    I see that the moderator deleted some posts, although I don't know which ones were so offensive as to require removal. In any event, add technologists giving not only diagnoses but procedure. I may have, previously, referenced having a stress echo ...
  3. "The Doctors don't know how to help you."

    Yes. I have no doubt that they are regurgitating - but what they're regurgitating is probably the truth of how the patient is perceived by the physician. There is no direct mechanism for legal action against front office staff, unless one can affor...
  4. "The Doctors don't know how to help you."

    The entire system here functions that way. It's not a matter of finding another physician when the entire system is involved; that is, all the practitioners. I'm glad your mother had you to support her to leave a practice before the office staff ki...
  5. Medical Assistants in the office

    People will perform any duty given them because they are empowered to do so. State law defining "nurse" would have to be changed in order for the State AG to become involved. The problem is, very much, at the top. That does not mean that medical ...
  6. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

    So, "doc" - you downgrade the skills of Registered Nurses. Of course if you're showing patients yucky faces to indicate pain levels...and entering YES NO on EHRs... then why bother with any "medical staff" other than you - at all? Perhaps a certifi...
  7. Medical Assistants in the office

    First - it's impossible not to be repelled by the quote given, equating CMAs, LPN, and RNs as comparable. No doubt that incompetency can't be found on any level. As to MAs not doing triage in most states - we live in a world where there is increas...
  8. Medical Assistants in the office

    No...thank you for contacting the AAMA. I can file a complaint with the State Board of Licensure against a named physician. The Board attorney urged doing just that if I want to see a change in this practice. Here's the conundrum: I think I may b...
  9. Is it really worth it... So Miserable!! So Insecure!!

    Why explain anything? Why not just do the work as the preceptor indicates. Your job isn't to develop a relationship with her, right? Just curious - what degree did you obtain. You know, "wanting to help people," can be done very well by earning a...
  10. Win $100! May 2015 Caption Contest

    "I'll call this one: age 36, heart rate 170, B/P 200/140...dead in 6 months if he keeps that up."
  11. Medical Assistants in the office

    Final straw yesterday. (I did post some of this in another forum- sorry). The final straw came today when the office where I specifically asked to speak to the "triage nurse," lied when I verified that I was speaking to an RN. We're talking cardi...
  12. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

    tacomaster, BSN. Absolutely, the nurse I want attending to my needs had better not indicate that she knows the community genealogy when attending to my care, because I leave the visit, and I leave the practice entirely. I want a nurse-clinician. I ...
  13. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

    There is so much wrong with your not thinking that the 'nurse' was in the right, I don't know where to begin.
  14. Medical Assistants in the office

    And an important one.
  15. "The Doctors don't know how to help you."

    The crux of the problem is that the reception believes her job to include counseling, interpreting and speculating on laboratory reports, and making such comments. She meant exactly what she said. I am sorry that your response seems to be that of a...
