OMM syndrome - one more month. One of the managers started to tell my facilities that I was ending on 4/6 but there was some confusion at one place. When I asked for clarification my GM called me today. Pleading with me to stay on a few more months. Told me he would do anything including rename one of his children. Can't offer me more $ because Medicare pays fee for service. Ugh.
My replacement doesn't feel he is ready and hasn't been able to complete all the work he needs to do to get up to speed in his other facilities where he has been working since January.
In medicine we used to say, "In the day of the giants..." Fill in the blanks - we made only $50 a week during our internship year and supported a family, we were on call every other night, etc., etc.
In my day you were handed a caseload and you plowed your way through seeing all the patients when you could and were thorough and efficient. There was no saying no as a doctor if you were employed by a practice or a hospital.
@EastWestGal - I need your guidance.
Anyway I said I'd think about it but first I have to write 21 notes.
If I had planned on retiring completely I would say no entirely but I was going to work one day a week until the end of the year.
So maybe for ONE MORE MONTH only, I will work another 1/2 day a week and do what I can. That's it. Take care of the 'psychiatric emergencies' and new patients only until they figure out how to replace me. May 1st. The end. Then back on plan.
Is anyone still questioning why I want to retire to Mexico where I just can't work in my once chosen field?
Oy vey.

No OMM. I decided today after many tearing-my-thinning-hair-out emails over absolute nonsense/garbage and trying to use some version of the new most horrible progress note form I have ever seen - that I am done as of 4/6 and will just work 1 day a week as originally planned. It's not my fault they didn't plan well for my departure when I gave them 6 month's lead time and a 3 month written notice.
Adios amigos!
