However, when the reception room becomes stagnant because patients are not being processed, patients get understandably upset. They take their frustration out on the C.A.s. Phone calls should be made only when there are no patients present. Doctors who never have time to adjust their staff. There is no reason why a C.A. should have to beg for an adjustment, but that happens.
Doctors hurry out of the office at lunch time and leave immediately after the last patient at night.
Since chiropractic adjustments keep people at their optimum health, it would seem that staff members should be given top priority. When a chiropractor believes in chiropractic care, this situation should never occur. Doctors who do not listen to the suggestions of their C.A.s. Ignoring the problem, though, creates tension and unnecessary stress. To turn it around, some C.A.s have learned to outline problems and suggest solutions.
