Oral History of Ms. P

Ms. P had relocated from Ohio to New York. She works as a medical assistant downtown. When she came back she decide to take more responsibility and go back to school for 2 years and be something close to a doctor which was her dream. She is now a

medical assistant. This is her main job until she could find another one that is better. Now lets see what she thinks of reasonability

Responsibility means to me being a person on top of my game like when i have thing in front of me or like thing I have to take care f I make it my busine

ss to get the job done. Step ahead of responsibility. Responsibility affects my life because I have 2 kids and

I have to be responsible for my actions in my life so they could have a good future.

When I was younger I never took responsibility and I had too much freedom in return f

or good grades I never push my self harder. When I was 17th and I graduate with a high school diploma that’s when I took responsibility. For kids who are growing up I would say follow your dream don't follow someone else dream because you ultimately have the answer to your future you could be anything you want to be if you work you hardest and follow your dream.

Well I wanted to be a doctor when I was young but I rebel against my dad and I found out the hard way after I had kids it was the right thing to do. So I went to school to get my Associate degree. 2 years of collage to get that degree. Your decision is base on the judgment of your actions base on other people.

I work with two cardiologist doctors and I see 20 patients a day. Paper work and answer phone calls. Call in the prescription. Do phlebotomy. Vital signs. Measurements. And meet demands of the doctors. By constantly learning by the doctors and trying to make my doctors happy by working 2 steps ahead of them. When I pull the chart out and read the patient history and give appropriate medication as necessary.

I work 8.5 hours a day. If I do over time I work more and more. Yeah it is worth it because at the end of two weeks I get a fat paycheck. Everything is on a schedule and with the team of responsible and respectful people. Having that job is important because there is a recession in the world and it’s very important to maintain an income

You no when a doctor is good when a doctor see you for who you are and not for the type of insurance. A bad doctor is a doctor who judges you base on you ins. and who doesn't respect the oath. Everyone should act and treat everyone with the same respect.
