FOOD FOR THOUGHT

 

In an organization, it does not matter who is good or bad. For, if the customer (patient) does not get good service, everyone is going to pay the penalty. The whole system will collapse and everyone will suffer. It is surprising how often people forget this. They are so involved in inter-departmental rivalries, trying to pass the buck and blaming the others, that they do not realize that this attitude will sink the whole organization. It does not matter who is right or wrong. The important thing is to see the whole system is running right: to serve the patients. Private differences can be settled later. The important thing is to get the job done. Otherwise the whole organization closes down and everyone suffers.

“X” thinks that it is “Y’s” job and that “Y” is lazy. But what happens to the patient? That is what both “X” & “Y” have forgotten in their quarrel. What they do not realize is that if they continue quarreling the whole system folds up. Remember the patient is all important.

TENSION

The moment you are in Tension

You will lose your Attention

Then you are in total Confusion

And you will feel Irritation

Then you will spoil Personal Relation

Ultimately, you won’t get Co-operation

Then your BP may also rise in Proportion

And you may have to take Medication

Instead, understand the Situation

And try to think about the Solution

Many problems will be solved by Discussion

Which will work out better in your Profession

Don’t think it’s my free Suggestion

It is only for your own good Condition

If you understand my Intention

You are free from Tension
