GAmedic1506 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I posted a thread that asked what have you improved at your service ? After 100 views, there were only a handful of respondents who could cite any improvement. We are always quick to point fingers at everyone else in the world, when it comes to the failures in our industry, but in this area, we have only ourselves to blame. Therefore, I proclaim this challenge to each of you: [/font:eb9f1e0871] Between now and August 31st, I challenge you to accomplish ONE improvement at your service. Please inform of us of your success, through this thread. I do not care if you just retype the daily checklist so that it is more legible -- Do Something ! Test some equipment, revamp a protocol, clean that green crap out of the refrigerator, replace that "Bambi Does Dallas" porn video with a real Bambi video --- ANYTHING -- just make ONE Improvement. [/font:eb9f1e0871] Those who fail to accept this challenge, may no longer gripe about your service on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awfully demanding, must be a manager somewhere. :wink: I can find something, somewhere. Revamp protocol? That's a lengthy process involved at the state level...Not normally on a service level. Ill do one. But please, GA. Don't ever slap me with a glove. Nevermind a latex glove. I have a sensitivity. And regardless of whether people do or do not, there's always the ability to gripe about their service. Some gripe so others may learn. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAmedic1506 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Sorry to hear that you have to go through the State for your medical protocols instead of your Medical Director, but none-the-less, I am sure there is something at your service that needs improvement. I didnt demand, I challenged ! You may turn the other cheek if you wish, but my hope is that you will return the slap with another slap (an accomplishment at your service). I will purchase some non-latex gloves for the sensitive ones in the group. This exercise will weed-out the whiners from the dedicated professionals. Whiners will give a million excuses, and all kinds of history about why they can't or haven't caused change at their workplace. The professionals will roll-up their sleeves and fix something. You are obviously a professional since you have risen to the challenge. "It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." -- Elinor Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZCEP Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 GA, Be careful you don't hurt yourself with all the soapbox jumping. My suggestion for improvement will be an elimination of all calls within 24 hours of polishing my boots. How are we supposed to present a professional image if we are forced to run into all manner of terrain and soil our footwear. Well, no more. There, done, what do I win?

Anyhoo, today, I redesigned one departments website, rewrote another departments infection control policy, and watched a 1/2 hour of Barneys "empathy education video" (i love you, you love me, blah blah...) Ok im done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAmedic1506 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 AZCEP you are better than that, or atleast your post lead me to believe you are better than that. You have been in this long enough that you should be a leader at your workplace, even if you dont have the title (Leadership is about action, not title). And if that is not the case, you are obviously a leader on this site, and I am sure many of these rookies in here highly regard your opinion. Dont take the easy way out.
