Sunday

Up early.   Was on call yesterday and not one call in.   Last week the second call person was in for 10 hours.   That is working way too long for a "emergency" only day.   One of the MD idiots took 11 hours to do four cases, all of which were non emergency.  He like the surg tech and I was thinking he was trying to decided how to score with the tech.   She was part time and didn't plan to be working 12 hours days on the weekend.   SHE RESIGNED the next day.   She is working at another hospital and said she didn't need the money to work that hard.    Another tech resigned also, she is going to Nursing School and the new place will give her 3/12's with no call.   So we are short of help.  And busy as can be.

Everyone asks what the problem and when they find out nothing is done.  I guess they are in the mind set of that we are a bunch of malcontents and that our problems are trivial.  Well. don't ask if you don't plan to do something about it.   We need help not lip service...............
