I understand that I should just shut up and work. What do I do about the rusted instruments and them complaining to me about them losing money.

Before this I had only my externship for experience which I loved because I only dealt with patients and no administrative work. Please understand I am not trying to complain I just want to hear an opinion from a professional what I should do.

The way I see it, you have the opportunity to voice out some concerns and actually implement some ideas to get the practice back up to normal operating standards.

If the instruments are rusted, explain to them how important it is for these to be replaced as it can cause all sorts of infections if allowed to penetrate the skin.

Administrative duties, I admit, are more difficult to understand, but try not to see it as "administrative duties" as a whole. Learn to accomplish single duties at a time. Understanding different types of insurances, on the other hand, will take time as there are so many types with their own guidelines and blah blah blah.

Use this opportunity to make a difference in the office. If you can achieve this, it'd be one hell of a thing to put on your resume to impress future employers. You probably would never have a problem finding another position within a medical office.

This is just my 2 cents.
