Ha not a lack of talent here

There may be some from our group of 45-50 CRNAs. I've been away on "vacation" moving into our rental house so don't know who went.

+1 on too EW's comment on frustration with lazy people. That doesn't fly in our group with either docs or crnas. As busy as we get with trauma and high acuity stuff, there isn't room for slacking.

I should have added a caveat.  Different groups have different cultures. Azygos' group is likely private and there is much less tolerance for lazy people.  I work in an academic group and lazy people seem attracted to that.  I previously worked in a private group and see the difference.  However, as the good
Doctor would likely agree, you can find lazy or hard workers in any group.

RE: Your upcoming Appointment

Please report to office WA.437384.432 in the large building where no patient care takes place. Time 0800 (we don't actually arrive until 0900 but we like to maintain the fiction that we work 8-5). Directions:
Leave the large building where patient care happens and money is generated. Take the shuttle driven (invariably) by foul tempered, poor mannered and openly hostile urban dweller to the large building where people who actually matter work.  Walk past the reserved by name parking spaces, continue past the large formal dining room where we will be having breakfast (the cooked to order omelettes and strawberry crepes are Fabulous!!!! ) then proceed through the starbucks, past the gym, notice the nail salon, masseuse and gift shop on the right.  Take the elevator to the top.  Have a seat and make yourself comfortable while waiting for an hour.  
We will then discuss your wearing of less than professional attire that disparages our highly valued medicaid and "private pay" patients.

Thank you in advance for your COMPLIANCE.  

HR.

You laugh, but our underground garage just lost half a dozen of the best physician/nurse/patient/visitor spots. That row of spots now has "ADMIN ONLY" painted across the lanes.

Oh I believe it. I was laughing because of how accurate it probably is.  You can tell EvanWilliams has been in healthcare a long time.

A bottle of Eau de parfum de Skunk would set the proper tone.

Hey, you can't be disrespectful to the University of Phoenix business degree holding gods that inhabit the top floor. Go park in the gravel lot with all the other peasants that need to be led and instructed in policy compliance.

You have realigned my vision and made me fully engaged with your vision. Do not look upon me, for I am hideous and mustn't sully your sight with my uncleanliness.*


*Please note that uncleanliness does not include washing or sanitizing hands before and after patient contact. I am meticulous about that. Need confirmation? Go ask those secret shopper spies that you enlist to see if we actually do that vs pick our noses upon greeting patients.

Seems to be the case.  Frequently it is such people with online degrees in some sort of HR field.  One recent exception, We did have at one point a JD who was the top admin in our dept. She didn't last as she wanted fiscal responsibility.  That would have meant getting rid of people or making them work more. The Number Two clinical person (and possibly number one) in the dept. didn't agree with that. She realized it was hopeless and left.

We occasionally have people who stand around for no apparent reason and then rush over if they see someone not wash their hands to write down name. They still carry clipboards so they are doubly obvious. But, many people are so oblivious that they still don't spot them.

you really did work at UAB. Ha!

Indeed
Occasionally time for lunch at Milo's that was next to parking garage
