And Doctor Makes Three

Consultants are buggers to work for. All of them, without exception. They will have things done their way, no matter what. If you're working for more than one consultant, you will invariably find that you're the rope in this mass tug-of-war between what one wants and what the other has told you to do. Then there's the fact that consultants have specific patients who seem to make their life's work into making unreasonable demands. Bending a consultant's schedule to a patient's will requires skill, finesse and the ability to not have your head explode when you're creating Paradox.
I don't have two consultants anymore. I now have three.
Dr Propper has been on long-term sick since Christmas. Now he's back, and I'm having a hard enough time juggling Dr Slevin and Dr Slater. Now he's throwing himself into the mix with bitchloads of work, and he hasn't been here five minutes. Never mind that he's throwing my entire timing system into chaos.
I want to go hooooooooome!

I used to work in a hospital IT department ... wait until you have multiple consultants all wanting their PC fixed now if not sooner.
You have my sympathies (and my utmost admiration for the juggling job) I'm sure you'll come out on top ... :-)
