"To make it worse, I see/hear patients say how wonderful their nurse is because she was so sweet and chatty and smiley. Yet, that was the same nurse who didn't take the time to document in your chart that you got a flu shot, who was too busy on facebook to send in that prescription you asked for. Then there is me: who is kind and welcoming but more professional, focused, and concerned about making sure all the i's are dotted and the T's crossed. "
This was me at work as well. People often thought I was somewhat abrupt but usually I was absorbed in correcting the mistakes of others who had "kicked the can down the road" and most often made more money than I did.
I'm sorry for you. When I was at your point of frustration I knew I had to get out and luckily could retire. Since then I've been able to come off blood pressure medications. Try quoting the serenity prayer....grant me the peace to accept what I can't control.
