I HAVE BEEN A MEDICAL ASSISTANT FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS, HAVE WORKED FOR VERY PROFESSIONAL WELL KNOWN CREDIBLE HEALTHCARE ESTABLISHMENTS ACROSS THE SUBURBS. BUT NEVER HAVE I EXPERIENCED AND WITNESSED SUCH HORRIBLE HEALTHCARE IN MY ENTIRE CAREER SINCE WORKING FOR THIS GROUP. I AM A WOMAN OF COLOR WHO WAS JUST FIRED BECAUSE I WAS STANDING UP FOR THE PATIENTS SAFETY AND WELL BEING! MY NOW EX-SUPERVISOR FIRED ME BECAUSE I KEPT COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW UNCLEAN AND UNSANITARY THE OFFICE WAS. I WAS THE ONLY EMPLOYEE WIPING DOWN PATIENT AREAS, EXAM TABLES, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT ON A DAILY BASIS. MY SUPERVISOR FELT IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE FRIENDLY WITH HER STAFF THAN TO ENFORCE THE CLEANLINESS AND SAFETY OF OUR PATIENTS. SHE ALSO FELT THAT IT WASNT NECESSARY TO MONITOR AND RECORD TEMPERATURE LOGS OF MEDICATION SAMPLES, AND VACCINES, AND TO CHECK EXPIRATION DATES FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PATIENTS. THE WAITING AREAS, WALLS, AND FLOORS ARE NOTICEABLY FILTHY WITH DIRT, AND DUST THAT NEVER GETS CLEANED. SINCE I WAS THE NEW PERSON RUFFLING FEATHERS OF THE SEASONED EMPLOYEES, I WAS SINGLED OUT, LIED ON, BULLIED, AND ACCUSED OF FALSE ACCUSATIONS TO GET ME OUT OF THERE. I ENDED UP BEING FIRED, ALL BECAUSE I WAS DOING MY JOB, AND JUST TRYING TO ENFORCE THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF THE PATIENTS. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THIS IS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER WORKED FOR, AND I WOULDNT SUGGEST ANYONE TO GO THERE FOR HEALTHCARE UNTIL THE OFFICE MANAGER OF CHANNAHON AND PLAINFIELD GETS REPLACED WITH SOMEONE WHO TRULY INDEED KNOWS THE MEANING OF GREAT HEALTHCARE!
