Press Ganey Redux
An oldie but goodie here with two new comments which just may be from inside the belly of the beast. Gotta check out the neato sharp-edged sign too.

Random thoughts from a few cantankerous American physicians. All contributors are board certified. Various specialties are represented here. I do not know where this will lead but hope it will at least be an enjoyable read. All of the names mentioned in this blog are pseudonyms, the ages have been changed, and in half the cases the gender as well. All photographs are published with patient consent or are digitally altered to preserve anonymity. Trust us, we're doctors.
I smell a news story here...
ReplyDeleteIt'd be really sensational and probably piss off a lot of people.
My parents fill that shit out and are flattered that someone wants their "opinion" on things. They think that it's all good. This is a rotten thing to do to the elderly. The old folks like my dad, a former engineer, want to feel they can be in a supervisory position again, and these surveys take advantage of that. I told my dad that these phone calls/forms he fills out in detail do nothing but harm, but he insists that if he doesn't think a nurse had enough time to shoot the breeze with him, that she was not friendly. The lay public will never understand what we do.
