Friday Night Red Wine Buzz. Ask me anything. [View all]

Man, what a hella week. As usual when we get a new clinic manager, our new guy wants to make a name for himself by increasing the productivity of his clinics.

No manager has ever figured out how to to that in an effective way short of magically making everyone in the community sick.

I heard he's actually going out on the streets and buttonholing people to tell them aobut the clinic. "They get you whatever you need!"

Which makes us sound like a pill-mill.

Asshole.

I should probably give him a list of the names of the clinic managers I've outlasted in nine years of practice. I wouldn't give him long odds for a lengthy tenure as manager.

Anyway, I need a fucking drink...

I love you all...
