Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I have had several offices. I USE to think I had problems with staff until I had this office. In the 3.5 years I have had this office I have gone through more staff than I did in the entire 12 years previously. The first front desk person , who came really highly recommended - I fired because I actually caught her buying crack - or something like that - in the office. She was a " tweaker " - whatever that is - and it was some rock thing you smoke. She had lost like 100 LBS smoking the stuff over the years, so I am guessing it was crack or something. Anyway, I paid her $10 per hour. I tried hiring alot of people at $10 per hour. I interviewed a ton of people who wanted $14 or 15 - who told me how great they were an how worth it they were. I could not afford $15 per hour. After struggling for a year or so I went the other way. I ran an ad that I was hiring 2 part time people, one for mornings and one for afternoons - Mon/Wed/Fri. Starting pay was/is $5.75. I wanted 2 part time people so I was never over a barrel. I cannot afford 2 full time people with this office, as I am in school full time . I can afford one full time person or two part timers. I prefer part timers because if one starts smoking crack and I have to fire her, I am not left with a big void that I have to fill pronto - there is someone to help carry the load. I was surprised what a flood of people I had who wanted this position. Dozens. And who took it with gratitude. Granted none of them had secretarial training - but in many ways that is better since they do not have any bad habits I have to retrain. By bad I mean - not the way I do things. The are usually women, many mothers - in their twenties. They are happy that they get to sit down at a job and it is not at Mcs. Many of them have been Mcs type workers and so often are used to working with the public. I can train the rest of it - answering the phone, calling on insurance etc. They work out great it seems, think getting a raise of a quarter to have a sit down job is a great blessing.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Mouth problems are from the dentistry. Yeast infection will respond to 2% gentian violet on a tampon inserted for 3 hours ONCE. Follow with herbal douche starting 3 days later (to avoid getting purple all over the place) Begin a candida investigation to get to the root of the problems. She make be in a state of severe neurotoxicity, especially if the adjustments are not clearing her subluxations. Rule outs are legion. MS, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, discopathies, spondylosis, etc. All must be evaluated or the patient must be made aware of the need to do so and choose otherwise. Simple to refer for neural consult to secure your legal protection. Consider a complete blood chem. With B12/folate and CBC with reticulocyte count, ferritin, TIBC etc. Evaluate physical condition and aerobic fitness. Beware of balance disorders that could lead to falls an other problems. Consider psychosomatic origins: Start with JMT, AK, or some form of self induced healing and see if she doesn't get immediate relief. If relief is quick down this path then you have your problem in the somatopsychic realms. Sometimes that is the main problem. Good luck Willard Bertrand Clinical Question My 53 yoa patient has several odd symptoms. Deep and raised redness over the left side of her face and chin, burning in her mouth and tongue, periodic numbness in her left hand and left leg. Original sx was numbness in both legs, now with adjustments this has been reduced to approx. 25% original sx. and only in the left leg. The mouth sx. began approx. 10 days ago after a visit to the dentist for a crown. He thought she was suffering from yeast infection so placed her on 3-4 doses of yogurt per day. (by the way, it hasn't helped) She has since been back to the dentist and had the crown replaced and different glue used. Her md did a series of blood tests that appear to be normal. This does not fit the normal pattern of Trigeminal Neuralgia, and is not Bell's Palsy as her md dx. Anyone with any tidbits of info? Grice, DC 821 Elm Street SW, Albany, OR 97321 OregonDCs rules: 1.
