On Friday afternoon I headed over to the clinic to notice it was unusually QUIET. There weren't many patients, doctors, nurses, or even staff members around. I went up to Nieves' office and saw that she was frantically trying to find a stack of certain billing papers. She told me that she really needed my help with sorting out the billing statements and by the looks of her office (papers EVERYWHERE) I didn't hesitate in offering my help! She took me to the adult clinic section where there was a big table for me to spread all the papers out on and start sorting. She kept telling me over and over again how much she appreciated me coming on a Friday afternoon to help her out since she really needed to give the papers to the payment office by 5pm. I really love how each time I have been coming to the clinic I am given a new task. I get to work in new areas, meet new staff members, and I feel like I am really helping them out even if it is just sorting out billing statements. I have to admit, I didn't mind volunteering at the clinic when it was empty. There is something peaceful about sitting in the clinic and seeing just a few patients at once. It was probably because I was exhausted that afternoon...BUT, I do love seeing it super busy as well because watching everyone moving in fast paces trying to help patients out feels like I am in an episode of Grey's Anatomy.
When I finished sorting out the statements for the week, Nieves looked so relieved and that made me happy. She did apologize for giving me a 'boring' job but I told her help is help and that is why I am here! :-) I am looking forward to next week to see what task is in store for me!!
until next time!
