Office Politics

The office is expanding, with several new clinicians and expansion and activity. I still have my space and my practice is growing. Sharon is the mover and shaker in the office, and puts lots of energy into her non profit organization. She works very hard, and accomplishes amazing feats on a daily basis.

I see patient after patient, many returning from their family doctors or other psychiatrists and therapists and I feel wanted and needed and appreciated. I try to stay out of all office politics. My former practice has a huge cloud over it. Not only did the secretary embezzle funds, there was medicare fraud and insurance fraud and many illegal activities. I knew nothing about this, but was simply robbed on a regular basis. I am not sure how to rectify it, and would rather keep my head in the sand where it belongs.

I love that as of yet, there are no politics to deal with in the new practice. Ot moves forward, the other practitioners are focussed on their own patients and everyone is independent and no one uses a secretary or a comptroller or a billing person. All is done individually and we are each our own entities, and that appears to be working.

So far, so good at the office. Thankfully.
