Hi! I have another work issue. One of the mid-levels in our practice tends to eavesdrops in my conversations/dictation almost on a daily basis. This has been going on for months now.
For example, one of the MAs approached me at my desk that my patient called and had a problem etc and I was about to answer, when she turned around and answered the question herself. I looked at her then proceeded to just give my response to the MA.
Another incident, when she's standing around our workstation, she would stand by my desk and seriously, she would look at my notes while I'm typing. Or when I'm dictating, she would comment when I paused to take a breath.
Third incident, I was discussing a patient case with the supervising MD in the hallway and she literally answered my question all the way from her desk station.
I started in this clinic around 5-6 months ago and I'm technically new to their practice. She's been here longer like 1-2 years but this is her first job as an NP. I'm trying to be patient but it does get on my nerves.
I'd appreciate suggestions on how to address this without causing friction in the workplace.
