Is it ok to vent a little bit?

Hey, "venting" is fine by me! I do it on Connect frquently! LOL! I know how frustrating it can be to deal with incompetent office staff. It is especially frustrating for me, because I was a Practice Manager for a medical practice in my career for years. And, I come across it so often anymore. I don't know what is happening, whether the staff is overburdoned, or if they just don't care? My staff would never have gotten away with some of the crap I have encountered, trust me. I was very kind with my staff, but I kept them in line, and expected their best in their work performance and the treatment of patients. But it just doesn't seem to be the same "medical world" now, that I worked in, sadly.

You are so right!
I’m appalled with the healthcare I’ve encountered past few years now.
Is it the staff, the doctors, or the system?
Doctors are way too busy to help, nevermi d trying to schedule follow ups in a timely manner.
4 months is not a good follow up time when the doctor says I’ll see you in 2 mos.
When I mention to the staff, they tell me that’s all that’s available.
Very frustrating when you have medical issues such as I do.
By the time I get in, it’s been several months, and that’s not acceptable.
The staff in these offices need to do better also.
They don’t get back to you as promised,so u have to make another call to follow up,etc.
I just don’t get it, I was also in the medical profession, and worked in a doctors office, and that would never have gone on where I worked.
My bosses wouldn’t stand for it, and godforbid a patient complained to them.
You’d be questioned for it asap!
