Office Notes – August 2016

Dr. Richard Carlin:

Good Morning, Welcome Back!

Carol’s Husband (Tom) has been diagnosed with Melanoma that has invaded his orbit and is inoperable. Unfortunately the prognosis is not good, maybe months to live.

We are living in times that are very mean. Nowadays politically correctness is derogatory. We are in a time were people think minorities are evil. We will have a horrible future if we go down that road. We are to leave all outside negativity away from here. This is a plea for kindness.

Announcements:

Mandy is now doing the schedule for the techs.

Techs- put in PTO request with Amy. Sometimes Mandy is not available.

If a patient comes in and has problems with glasses, the glasses need to be checked by an optician, if they cannot be fixed by opticians they need to make an appointment for a glasses check.

The Academy is in October. Certified techs can attend. CarlinVision will cove air fare, hotel and classes. The meals will be up to you.

We received a very nice review from a Dr. Thornhill patient.

Payouts: see list

When we are seeing a patient for second eye cataract surgery, it needs to be stated that they are having trouble with vision in the complaint and that it was not relieved by first eye surgery. Wellcare Medicare needs acuity of 20/40.

Amy:

2 things: Van from AFLAC is coming August 17. If you need to make any chances or add anything make sure you see him.

John Bowles wanted me to remind everyone to watch what you are opening. He has other clients who have gotten a virus that whipped their entire system.

Megan- We are currently running a bleph special.

Diana:
