D saw the cute but fairly stupid little Indian psychiatrist this morning and she informed him he was being transferred to some new nurse practitioner there who is to be in charge of all the clozaril patients. Including doing the paperwork thereof. I am of mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, if this new woman isn't incompetent, maybe all the blood work/pharmacy hooha will be simplified, and I will at least know exactly whom to call if it isn't done right and in a timely fashion. Dr M was very clear that this woman would be in charge of every facet of the clozaril program, so there is that "the buck stops here" thing. On the other hand, after over a year and a half of it being screwed up more often than not, I have over the past year+ gotten the system under control that, with a little work and responsibility (that shouldn't be mine, but whatev) on my part, it isn't getting screwed up anymore, ever. So this change makes me anxious. But what doesn't? Also, I'm kinda interested in why, the clozaril patients being, ostensibly, the sickest, they're all going to be transferred to a nurse practitioner, not an MD. Not that, like I said, Dr M seems to be the sharpest tack in the junk drawer. Someone's gotta be towards the bottom of their med school class, right? So maybe it doesn't matter.
We'll see what happens. But be prepared for future bitching in here. You've been warned.

Your tale makes one repeat the old joke of the difference between doctors and god: god knows he isn't a doctor.
On the whole I think the sickest patients might be better off with the NP than the MD...IMHO.
