There are those that are ignorant of their deficiencies, and there are those that are just plain lazy and not willing to change their approach despite alerting them to it. I believe it is the latter that are most dangerous especially when dealing with patient care; vulnerable patients need increased and easy access to clinical monitoring and care, and just because you don't like your job, that is no excuse in my books.
Anyways, over some discussion with my consultant, I was made aware that this particular case manager was actually approaching him and making outrageous statements to him re: my reluctance to do certain clinical tasks at work. I have never been in any placements where staff have questioned my dedication to work, so this is certainly NEW for me.
I take it as a personal insult really, that I was accused of something when it was because the case manager did not want to follow through with her own work. This is a real disgrace as well, because I always see similar minded people in mental health in high regard.
I will not confront this person yet, because I know she'll blatantly deny that she communicated those things to my consultant. I will be keeping a close watch on all her clinical work from here on, because she's ticked off a real Chinaman...
