Wow, it's been a long while since talking to you all. I really love the concept of the clinic I am working for now...it caters to the uninsured, those of us that are less fortunate...they depend largely on grants to be able to offer medical, dental and even mental health care to people that need it the most. I work the front office, reception/scheduling/registration and answering the never ending phone calls. It is a very active, busy little clinic...people literally drive for hours to get the kind of help we have to offer. We are located in a very small, rural community and with rising unemployment, the need just seems to have exploded...so many people that have always had insurance from their employers, find themselves without. These people are truly amazing, they work very hard, they really do care. That, in itself is what makes me love being even a very small part of something so wonderful and very much in demand. If I am able to learn all I can, so I can finally feel needed again...this job is just what the doctor ordered!!!
Medicine should not be all about the almighty buck...medicine should be about caring and healing. It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to know that there are still people out there willing to give their all for those who can't help the predicament they happen to be in...I've been there, I know what it's like to be without. Now I can help others, the way I wished others could have helped me.
Sorry this is such a long post. I do hope everyone else is doing well...finally I am at peace with the medical field and I just feel so darn proud of it.
