helping Tristan move some more stuff into his new apartment today, and yard work, I guess....what's on your docket?
6:29 am
Scrabbler
I have been on call since 5pm yesterday and continue til MOnday 8am. I work in the office from 8:30 until at least 12, longer if there are lots of sick kids.
6:29 am
Scrabbler
DId he start his job?
6:29 am
Trifioso
ugh! how many docs are in your coverage service?
6:30 am
Trifioso
no, and he is VEXED - they pushed his start date back AGAIN. Thank goodness he has such a vibrant freelance career going!
6:30 am
Scrabbler
5 docs. I do 8 weekends a year. It is a 63 hour marathon.
6:30 am
Trifioso
My mom used to have to cover for seven docs, plus herself, and it was too much! she switched into a service with only three people, and it was much better
6:30 am
Scrabbler
Good for him, doing work on his own. Very resourceful!
6:31 am

Been lurking as well. Wow, That is quite the long on-call schedule! I hope you have some time for yourself once it is done, scrabby!

We are searching for a new doc as the oldest (71) wants to retire in the next year or two.
6:32 am

We pay for an overnight triage RN service from 9pm-8am. The RN calls us if a kid needs to go to the hospital. Usually we can sleep all night, which is essential for functioning the next day.
6:33 am

my mum had the SWEETEST doc in her practice - still going at 81! he only did simple stuff like strep throats, colds, etc. Wanted to keep a hand in, worked three days a week - everyone loved him

section of the county we live in are so under-serviced by G.P's that one town actually went ahead and built a fully loaded medical centre on spec and their own time to have all the amenities ready should they be lucky enough to entice a doctor to move up here from the city.
6:34 am
Scrabbler
Bill is a kind, patient, conscientious doc. I cannot imagine him not being in the office. And he manages the business.
6:34 am
Trifioso
that's a good idea, scrabbler! my mum got some amazing calls back in the day - "is it too hot for the baby to wear an undershirt?" or, drug seeking patients of the other docs, or, my all time favorite - Sunday at 2pm, needed stuff for her migraines, and then threw in "now that I have you on the phone, can I book my mammogram?"

6:52 am

I feel a bit sorry for people like the dragon lady, and old mr Richard - they are leaving a trail of alienated, sad people in their wake....to be so clueless about how you are regarded seems sad to me
6:53 am
bichon
What were the issues with him, I forget?
6:53 am
Scrabbler
They live lives of denial, rationalization, and insecurity. They must suffer internally because their subconsciouses KNOW the truth.
6:54 am
Scrabbler
He is a narcissistic, demeaning, degrading, overcritical, micromanager.
6:55 am

And he pleased the parents at all times so rxd antibiotics and other meds (stimulants!) when not indicated.

everyone now and then I come across one of the ha4 notes the dragon lady left in my desk. I used to hang on to them, sort of as evidence of how ridiculous she was....but now when I find one I chuck it right away, lest her funk leak out and ruin my day. bad qi!
6:56 am

Yes, I was proud of myself for choosing to depart.

okay- need chog consensus here, and no need to read much into this - just asking really....where do we all stand on the silent treatment? Is it ever effective? Is it a good idea? A bad one? please weigh in....

I think it is childish myself.
7:18 am

Depends on the situation and what you mean by it - which I realise is totally unhelpful!
7:18 am
Uneaixoise
lurker's observation -- seems to be pretty effective . . . no?
7:18 am
Trifioso
I am so on the fence - I think it can be good if everyone needs to gather their thoughts and calm down....but at a certain point it seems talking is the only way through something, yes?
7:18 am
Lizlin
Silence can sometimes just be a matter of being basically polite where necessary and no more.
7:19 am
crosshair
I believe that if used online, it can be an effective way to defuse a situation.
7:19 am
Trifioso
good point, crossy
7:19 am
Uneaixoise
defusing . . . yes
7:20 am
Trifioso
to means it seems to convey a sense of punishment as well, though - the person refuses to engage with you to punish you?
7:20 am
sukee
It depends I guess, if it just means you are not going to continue arguing. But to give someone the silent treatment for days I don't agree with.
7:20 am
bichon
je 5/24, pls
7:20 am

If it's just withdrawing from a chat online, which is upsetting to you, then I don't see a problem - after all, we're mostly just names to each other; some giving more than others.

Sorry bichon, don't have it.

I think for me, silence is a discipline that I desperately need to develop. I tend to dive right in and say whatever I am feeling at that moment. NOT engaging in an argument, or even a discussion, might be a good thing for me to try, until I can discern how I am really feeling about the topic at hand
