Sorry my retirement announcement thread from last Friday got closed down due to some very distasteful remarks from one individual before I had the chance to respond to some questions asked by some of you. I was so excited to share my retirement with this group!
Although I was burned out from my job, I was still passionately involved with my patients, physicians, and staff helping those suffering from diabetes and GI issues.
I went around to say goodbye to some of my favorite physicians today. I honestly had no idea some people felt the way they did about me. One office gave me a Smith & Wollensky gift card of a substantial amount...very taken back. Another office had 9 envelopes for me and asked me not to open them until I left. I got in my car and started opening them......each envelope was a letter from different office personnel. Some typed, some written. I couldn’t get through but two of them. I was crying like a baby.
Like I said, I had no idea how along the years that things I said or did effected people. I had completely forgotten many of these things. I wanted to go back in the office but I was really overcome. I pulled out of my parking space which was up front and moved to the back of the parking lot until I kind of composed myself. Then I walked back in. We went back in the break room. Hugged, cried, laughed.
Whew, wonderful day.
I really learned today that some people DO pay attention to what you say and it does effect them!
