Eh MatesJust a lil update from the land of Crazy Oil Money.... Its still Stampede... and we are milking the relaxed dress codes to the max at the hospitals... Im finally getting used to wearing my cowboi boots... and my big cowboi hat has been a bit hit with all the patients... I got some amazing accolades from my manager today at a big team meeting... I guess they really like the work I am doingwe have a team of 30+ trainers... and my manager has asked me to join a select group of just 2 other trainers who will be directly responsible for training Physicians and Surgeons.. since they are such a difficult group.... the director has decided that only a select few should deal with them directly.... that way we can create a greater bond with the doctors as they are seen as very competitive and the most adverse to change... she put it in a great way.. she said "Doctors are the intellectual cream of society who also have the social graces of bulls in heat...and therefore need trainers who have soft gloves but can also wrangle with the biggest bull egos." So im taking that as a good indirect compliment.i think (?).. so wish me luck.. as I found out I am already being considered for a promotion... I have only been on the job for 6 weeks..crazy eh..and one of the reasons is that I have also been working on creating and testing Low molecular weight Heparin protocols and order sets for Emergency... anyways.. yada yada yada// my work has got the attention of the Chief of Medicine and the chief residents of the 3 emergs in town... one of them even said to me today in the biggest southern cowboy drawl...... " Kid.. I like your style, you've got the most non-threatening-take no bullshit air to you."I have no idea if that was an insult or a compliment.... but all I know is that since then I am getting invited to more and more high level meetings... so keep your fingers crossed.... maybe just maybe.. this gay boi from Ontario can win over some of these red neck Albertans...big hugs... and chat soon... ps.. its ok if I call them Red Necks... the Chief has a big sticker on his pick-up that says " Red Neck and Proud"
