'We would be grateful if you could meet with us on Friday 13th at 1.30pm in the Interview Room to discuss concerns from a managerial and supervisory perspective regarding clinical practice issues.' 'Us' being the Head Midwife and Supervisor of Midwives.
To say a cold sweat overcame me would be less than accurate as I was also shaking. I received the letter this morning, I go away tomorrow. I knew that this would overshadow my enjoyment of a much awaited break so I eventually suceeded in tracking down the manager. Well I never, I havn't caused any morbidity or mortality, what I have done is have a friend, who is also a midwife at the same trust, ask me to deliver her baby, and have a pregnant daughter. Apparently I do this 'sort of thing too much', this 'thing' being to have women/friends/colleagues/daughters ask me to care for them. Anyone who was reading my blog back in April 2004 will know how much trouble I got into then.
Oh well at least I can go away knowing that clinically there are no problems, it's just that I allow people choice.

Amazing- your colleagues compliment you by asking for you to oversee their care & the mgmt thanks you for your dedication & professionalism by pulling you aside? Truly, the paper pushers are draining away all common sense. |
