Not passive, but definitely agressive

Oh, it was such a delight to read an e-mail with lovely things like this:

"Don't we already do this?"
Yes, but not the way the main office says we will do it.

"Does it make our staff look incompetent?"
Not if you aren't already, and with e-mail like this, I wonder.

"..prime therapy time stolen"
FYI this is for aquatherapy...for which only certain Hotel patients qualify. Yes, I'm asking for that time (around an hour) so I'm that time thief.

So being a good team member, I bounced this to a couple of nurses at another two hospitals in the system.
Their answers when I gently mentioned the time conflicts were similar:

"Yes, we had the same thing until the chief medical officer had a chat..."
"Once they knew we were really going to do it and not back down..."

And after I recovered from the shock, I asked whether it would be okay with these folks to bring along two of the people who helped me write the bulk of the process documentation at the request of the boss.

I loved the response to that. My reason: share and share alike (if there going to try to take me down, I'm bringing my own backup...)


"Not sure what that has to do with explaining the reason for the change."

It will be interesting to see what happens at our meeting. Stay tuned. TGIF!
