Ok so I need some Intercot support, you all are so great! :number1:
I have worked in the medical field for about 18 years now. I started out as a file clerk in college and presently I'm an office manager/medical assitant in an internal medicine office. I have worked in every possible position you could have, primary care, OB, specialists, you name it.
At this point I kinda run my own show, it's just me and one other girl and the doctor here now. So you ask, what's my problem? That's what I can't figure out, but I hate this job. I feel like in the grand scheme of things I have worked in so much worse conditions but I just feel like my head's going to explode when I'm here.
The doctor somewhat makes me feel bad at how much money I make (which for what I do isn't enough), I feel responsible for everything, I find myself less sympathetic to patient's and their problems, etc. One day I decided that I wanted to take some time off. Told the doctor the day before, came in at 7:15 am that morning, got everything set up and together, left around 10:00. Was told the next day that I "abandoned her" even though I could have called in sick, not shown up, but not my style. I was stunned.
Anyways, I have been investigating the possible opportunity of working for a local non profit animal organization here. Animals are my passion, I actually volunteer for this place on my days off. I'm just so scared at venturing out into something "new". Medical stuff seems to be all I know, all I'm qualified to do. I know I would have to take a pay cut to get my foot in the door, but I wonder if even at a lesser pay it might be a more fulfilling, rewarding thing for me to do.
Sorry for the rant, sometimes, you all are the ones I can vent this stuff to. My DH just tells me to do whatever makes me happy (like that helps :D )
Thanks as always, you guys are great!! :thumbsup:
