This MA I work with let's call her A does not talk to me at all because one day I had some urine labeled in the lab area that I told everyone I was holding onto because I had a question for the doctor. She tried to throw it out because it was in a Tupperware container, I recovered it and she got in huge trouble because the doctor that I had went to with a question is also the owner of three clinics one of which we work for. She got in trouble for trying to throw out that urine. I never told on her she opened her own big mouth after I got the answer to my question and went on to do my job she bark that the urine is contaminated because it was not collected in one of our containers. She turned around and outed herself to the doctor.
A few days ago I was told by management that MA A was going to relieve me at exactly 12:00, and I was to go home. Yahoo the 1st time I'd get to actually leave a little early instead of always staying late to cover for others. I saw MA A come in but I didn't know the time I was to busy to care so I told her you are to take over for me at 12:00. She sits down in front of a computer and doesn't say a word to me. I thought well it must not be 12:00 maybe she came in early. As I was rooming another patient I reminded her at 12:00 she is to take over, again not a word from her mouth.
I then room a child and the room I was in didn't have a pediatric cuff so I play the marching game into the pediatric side of our clinic where managements offices are also near. As I find an empty room to borrow I hear my boss come running to me yelling at me what are you still doing here. I tell her MA A is on the computer and hasn't taken over for me yet. It's then that I look at my watch and it's after 1:00.
My boss points in the room says finish the vitals and tell MA A to take over right now. I get the rest of my vitals we play the marching game back to the other room I get the patient and parent situated but this is a school physical the vision test still needs to be done and with the doctor I am working with all vaccines must be entered into the computer so it prints out she doesn't like hand written vaccine forms, I had looked over his recorders and we have the proof of all of his vaccines but not all of them are entered into the EMR correctly so that it will print out. Silly time consuming stuff
i turned to MA A and said you need to get up right now and take over. She gets up walks away from me and reminds me of the vision and vaccines. I tell her that our boss said for me to leave right now and for her to do it.
Should I have finished that patient? As I was leaving I saw her rooming another patient so I can only assume she never did the vision test, she'll get caught on the vaccines when the doctor goes to print it and not everything is there but then the patient suffers by having to wait for her to do her job. Should I have just stayed and finished that patient or am I being to much of a push over.
I dont care that she doesn't talk to me that's fine with me it means I don't have to worry about urine being thrown out. But we still have to work together, and we still have rules to follow.
