Role of office manager

Absolutely none. She is not medical and has no business getting involved.

Just curious what role does your office manager play in decide what patients you see

I've spoken with the office manager and receptionist about this , neither one can wrap their heads around the fact it us up to my discretion if I see a walk in depending on my pt load and the acuity. Last week I was scheduled to leave early for a CT, and the receptionist told me there was a mom calling to get her child seen for a sore throat and low grade fever. This was 5 minutes before I had to leave. I told the receptionist I would not be able to see the pt due to my own appt. And since I did not know this pt I was not calling in a abx I suggested some things and if no improvement to seek care . Today i was told that I was being difficult. The child had just started with the sx that morning, was I being difficult or unreasonable , I don't think so.

Familiarity breeds contemt.Why on earth does a receptionist feel her opinion matters about your medical decisions?You need to set them straight or leave.
