Low on the CBFM this morning. Huh.
I'm kind of ticked off at scheduling at work. I told the one department last week that I will not be there Friday and I have a doctors appointment that morning. The doctor I work with there told me he usually just does these things I need to be there for on Thursdays and last Friday when they needed me was a rare thing because it was an inpatient. Ok then. I got my other department scheduler to mark me off and not schedule patients Friday morning (they had already scheduled one for Friday late afternoon, which is ok, I'll be back by then). Today, I finally was told there was a patient Thursday, THEN there was also a patient Friday at 10am. A couple hours later, I was told there was a patient Friday at 8am. My appointment at the RE is at 9am & it's 2 hours drive one way. So, luckily we have 2 other doctors working Friday, so one can do the first one, then she leaves at 9:30. The other doctor can't go down to the OR, but another tech will bring the stuff he needs back up to the lab. I am going to tell them a few things tomorrow because every single time I have an important appointment, even when I let them know weeks ahead of time, they schedule patients. We are already short staffed, so it just makes everything more stressful. My supervisor already said that I had the OK to be off and if they schedule these things with this short of notice (or no notice at all, for one particular doctor) and there's no one to go do it, then too bad. We weren't supposed to be doing this many in the first place, now it's taking up at least 1 or 2 mornings a week to do this particular procedure. Not like I don't already do enough, I do 6 different jobs, sometimes in a single day. I can't NOT be stressed. I can't get time off because we're short staffed and I can only take off for doctors appointments, then I have to immediately go back to work. It's so frustrating.
