MA training problems

Hi! My MA who has years of experience resigned due to the fact that the practice manager after 3 years wouldn't give her a raise and promoted someone else who has lesser experience. I can't blame her. It's due to office politics im sure. She was such a good worker, very reliable and a fast learner.

This is the first time my workplace has provided me my own MA. In my previous workplaces, I had none or I shared one with my supervising MD which meant I had to do a lot of MA stuff back then since his stuff were prioritized.

I was initially upset at the manager when she resigned then I found out that the manager never informed the doctor who owned the private Practice. He found out when he came from vacation on her last day. He offered to match the salary raise given by another practice but anyway that's another long story.

The manager assigned me another MA last week and I'm just frustrated because quite frankly, it's like babysitting a 10 year old. She said she had lots of experience and she always seemed eager to learn. She always says she wants feedback but I feel like I'm training her to be an MA all over again. As a provider, my focus should be on patient care only and it seemed like I'm doing two jobs now, being a clinician and training an MA. Plus she's LOUD. Granted she's loud when we're not in the patient room but when we're at our desks, you can hear her voice laughing at the end of the other hallway.

Yesterday after work, I finally emailed the manager that I want another MA assigned to me. I often feel guilty with situations like this because I too needed a lot of coaching at the start of my career but I like to think that I did adapt and there were improvements seen immediately. My supervising MD and owner once implied that I should be grateful for being provided an MA which I am but I feel like she's hindering my work more than ever.

Im just airing out my frustrations. I wished my previous MA didn't leave but that's life.
