How about going through an extensive mammogram due to some problems, being worried about it, etc. and having the radiologist come in wearing a scruffy pair of jeans, worn out looking shoes and in general, I was almost afraid to talk to him because I thought perhaps he was the cleaning person! Talk about lax!!!

Professionalism in America...
What happened to professionalism in America? Have I been at home in my pajamas too long? Everywhere I go, every business, etc. I have come across people who are just so unprofessional looking. Dropping my child off at school the other day, a delivery man got out of his truck looking sloppily dressed. Uniform shirt was dirty, untucked with belly hanging out. This is not seen only in men in delivery positions or blue collar workers. It is seen everywhere. Offices have gone to casual wear. What happened to the crisp clean uniforms and nice dressed women in offices? When I worked outside the house, even when we did have a "casual day" it still was somewhat professional looking (no athletic shoes). Don't you think this contributes to laziness on the job? Wouldn't you rather be served by someone clean looking and bright than not? Do supervisers of these positions accept this look?
Professionalism is lacking everywhere!
Look around you at church. I was taught that you went to church to meet "the King of Kings" and you wore your best. I have to go round and round with especially my son. We have compromised - a dress shirt and tie everyother Sunday - opposite Sunday just a dress shirt. Even look at the people going in and out of funeral homes. Years ago, you would never see anyone attend a viewing or funeral in jeans. Common attire today. If you are raising teenagers today, you really feel this crunch because they are constantly having to go against the flow of their friends. We went to our family doctor's office just a couple of weeks ago. The doctor had on tennis shoes, jeans and a polo shirt. My 13-year-old son said, "he sure didn't look like a doctor!" I about shouted -- I think the message is getting through!! It does matter what you wear!
Professionalism and morals
First, let me say, if I was an administrator in charge of a hospital this particular hospital employee would be gone. No questions asked because she is jeopardizing the welfare of patients by doing what she is doing and putting the hospital at risk for a huge lawsuit.
Rita- I am very sorry that this happened to you. It is a shame that there are doctors out there who think that this is okay to do to someone. Not only that, his dictation for your surgery is fraudulent because he didn't do what he said he did. Did he ever get caught? If so, has he done this to others as well?
this is a great post...professionalism is the way to go (sm)
being sadistic does not accomplish anything, and if people really wanted to help others, there would be different hiring practices to begin with, rather than hiring so-called substandard MTs only to rip them apart every chance they get, and then come on this board and mock them.
Do the overseas MTs get treated this way? Seems to me they are thriving in this business...
i second the "again" poster -- where in the heck is professionalism?
i have never seen so much whining. Gripe if you have no work, gripe if you get a backup account, gripe on and on...how about either #1, call and request a DIFFERENT backup account and/or #2, just work the secondary with the intention of trying to get handy at it... or of course you COULD go back to MT school, as if you can only make $2/hr on your secondary account, you may need more training...better yet, get into another field!
Yes, I would, verbatim or not - there is a level of professionalism in a legal document and
the word "poop" doesn't belong in medical dictation - change it to fecal material or something! LOL - these doctors kill me. I had one say "turd" one time, too - who are they kidding? They know it's wrong!
