healthcare bureaucrat in philly, v adhd, orthodox jew, ect ect, im love my wife



The surgeon told this patient we'd operate by the end of the year despite them not being ready and the consultation being like,,, last month. As context I spent the entire summer begging them to stop giving people surgery dates as doing so was resulting in surgeries falling through left and right before I joined

But okay. Sure. Fine. So I worked my ass off and got everything squared away and cleared and scheduled

The response? Indignation for scheduling a surgery with such short notice without running it by them first. Wh. How would I have known to run it by you if nothing in the progress notes indicate that this is anything but exactly what you are asking for?

I'm so sick and tired of always being wrong. Everyone has very specific ideas on how they want me to do things and none of it is consistent or clearly communicated.

And in the background is the rumbling reminder that the insurance this company pays for denied my personal attempt to get ffs, a surgery that we provide, a surgery that my job it is to coordinate. All for thee none for me

Someone in my network is hiring a data analyst and I can barely squeak under the minimum requirements. I'm desperate. Going to put all my weight behind this application

Protip: "Minimum requirements" are a social construct. I have not met the so-called minimum requirements of the majority of roles I've been hired for. Treat them for what they are, one aspect of the dance of negotiation between two parties interested in making a deal.

I think that the social expectation they have that you're missing (which is their fault, not yours) is that when they tell a patient "yeah it'll totally happen by the end of the year :)" they're assuming you won't actually do that and instead will be the one who says "yeah due to bureaucracy and delays it'll actually be next year"
