It's elitist (in my eyes whether that was your intent or not). Your position that is. So taking it in the elitist vein here's why you should give shots when the psychiatrist do not give shots. Because they are psychiatrists and you are but a nurse practitioner.

It does not have to do with patient care, or work loads, it has to do with organizational structure. <br /><br />As I am sure you have read from my blogs, this sort of things happens constantly in my office. Management will canabalize staff to cover a perceived temporary event (the flu season). This leads to the mindset that staff are interchangeable parts that can be plugged in anywhere there is a 'need' for staffing in the future. This is poor management and needs to be controlled (I call in mentoring the morons). <br /><br />Management has to realize there is a structure to any office process, be it healthcare, or auto assembly, or farming. When you start taking the tractor driver off his John Deere and have him start herding cows on a quad-runner, it will not promote, but deteriorate the office structure. <br /><br />In this day and age, management isn't usually that bright, they have to be told "no" to keep them on the right track.Bruce Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10898228670873232050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79674722144036755.post-34021178327855429802011-08-29T22:19:52.884-05:002011-08-29T22:19:52.884-05:00Thank you ladies.

And, you'...I vote with the queen on both points. And, you're absolutely right...they do have access to flu shots via other channels. It's not like you went on an all-out pouting/ranting bender. You saw the slight, you mentioned it. It got dealt wit. Victory for you, I say! <br /><br />Me, personally? I'm anti-flu shot, butletmetellyouwhy. <br /><br />I had the flu at the age of 15. It was a terrible, horrible flu! I didn't get the flu again, though I worked in public service for years, until I was 25. We'd lost Brooklyn in July, had another miscarriage in late November and during my follow-up in early December my OB suggested I get a flu shot due to my stress level and all my body had been through. So, I tooka the shot, Mrs. <br />And, in January, I got the effing flu. In March, I got the effing flu. <br />Screw a flu shot since then. And, I am happy to report that I didn't get the flu again until last year, at the age of 30, but my system was already compromised due to the incomplete miscarriage/infection. Basically, I am a natural flu-fighting machine. I should be studied and antibodies should be made from my Goddess DNA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79674722144036755.post-35527069169389411142011-08-26T19:07:09.922-05:002011-08-26T19:07:09.922-05:00Victory for you.
