[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 431137, member: 1233"] Sadly in our area the principle that people rise to the level of their incompetence seems to be the rule. If someone is really good with clients then they are promoted to a position that is mostly paperwork. Those that are HORRIBLE with clients, even truly make things far worse, are kept in that position for a LONG time until they "get it right". Often they are there long enough to learn enough about the higher ups to use that info to hurt ANY client or family that complains or upsets them. As soon as people get ANY experience they are hired away and paid better, so the county people are ALL either terribly green or they are the WORST that exist. Either way, it is really HARD to find good tdocs here, even though we have a university that trains them. It is like teachers here. Our district will NOT hire anyoen with experience. ALL new hires have had at max 1 year of experience as substitute teachers. Others want more money. Our teachers do not dare to strike. Our superintendents have said for years (at least 4 different ones) that the teachers can strike if they want. They will ALL be fired and school will open up in less than a week with all new teachers. They truly could do this for every school in our district. There are that many applicants wanting jobs in this town and that many new teachers being certified who want to stay here for a couple of years. So our teachers either have a spouse with a good job here or they started very new. It doesn't pay to get a graduate degree in our town if you are a teacher because they do NOT give mandatory raises if you have a higher degree. They are supposed to but just don't. EIther way, sometimes nothing helps. And getting a good therapist can be incredibly cost prohibitive. Most of the really good tdocs in our town do not take insurance at all. Or else they only take 1 kind and are super specialized in the type of client they accept. [/QUOTE]
