Working class hero...and happy

It is the best clinic I have ever worked in, from many many points of view. Far from the glamour and attention to the perfection of aestethics of other places.Maybe even cluttered at times. But functional, well oiled machine, getting the work done, getting the cash flow.
The feeling of being part of a team, of being asked for an opinion. The feeling that when it's work to be done, everybody really works and pulls, from the boss downwards. The lack of paranoia regarding stealing. Machines that work. Getting half of the emergency fee. Having many toys available, and almost all the drugs I can possibly think of (all but one...apomorphine, funilly enaugh). Being able to ask for advice. And, in turns, having time to enjoy life after work.

So yes, I think I finally got it right:) With more details..iso machine, Xray with automatic processor, CBC and chemistry in house, reliable all-you-can-think-off labs at hand (in Florida), IV pumps, great cages, dental machine, snap tests for all. New procedures to learn from fellow americans with great experience. Various week rota, with 1 week on surgeries, 1 week on shelter and on-call, 1 week with appointments. Good suportive staff of nurses and receptionists. Not shiny, not crystal clean. Practical.

Sound like a fairy tale? Well, after some experiences with the past...remember the one that went bankrupt in the eve of Christmas?

Anyway, yes, generally very pleased with my new clinic, boss and fellow workers.
