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

    Standardethics posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    That statement was uttered by the medical receptionist in my primary care physician's office. In my primary care physician's office, there are two workers. One might be a medical assistant of some...

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

    Standardethics replied to Standardethics's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    The PCP is fully aware that the receptionist is functioning as a medical

  3. Medical Assistants in the office

    Standardethics replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

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

    Standardethics replied to Standardethics's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

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

    Standardethics replied to Standardethics's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

  6. Medical Assistants in the office

    Standardethics replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

  7. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

    Standardethics replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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...

  8. Medical Assistants in the office

    Standardethics replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

  9. Medical Assistants in the office

    Standardethics replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

  10. Is it really worth it... So Miserable!! So Insecure!!

    Standardethics replied to nursy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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...

  12. Medical Assistants in the office

    Standardethics replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

  13. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

    Standardethics replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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...

  14. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

    Standardethics replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is so much wrong with your not thinking that the 'nurse' was in the right, I don't know where to

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

    Standardethics replied to Standardethics's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

  18. Medical Assistants in the office

    Standardethics replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Here, medical assistants can pretty much walk in off the street and be hired. I am not opposed to paraprofessionals doing a great many things if they have been properly trained and are properly...
