Re: No Respect as MA

Thanks for the response. I do appreciate my job and thankful everyday for it. My pay is decent plus the doctors pay all of my insurance each month, which is not cheap. When I say the doctor yells at me, I know it's because he has been in the business for a long time and he is about to retire. I mentioned to him I was interested in learning phlebotomy and was going to go to school for it. Instead he told my to save my money and he would teach me. Right now it is the doctor who draws the blood. The doctors I work for don't let the MA's give injections or draw blood. I understand it probably has to do with the malpractice insurance. However I have been drawing the blood while the doctor is by my side. I just wanted to know how others felt. I do feel blessed and I will keep my mouth shut.. Thanks!
