I had close to 30 years as a hospital based Clinical Engineer in Connecticut. We were responsible for every area of the Hospital, But rotated through other areas, while we held on to or Primary areas. My main area for my entire career was Surgical Services. With the advent of Video systems, Lasers, and many new surgical modalities, I was allowed to grow up and develop, study work flows, and set up cart systems, and control booth areas. I "practiced perfection" my entire career. I moved south in 2014, and was hired by Florida Hospital / Advent Health. An absolutely wonderful place to work. I would mentor the new engineers, the same way I did in Connecticut, this was always a great experience. Unfortunately, Upper management in this Clinical Engineering Dept. felt I was spending too much time on tasks that they felt we, as a department, shouldn't be doing. I routinely pointed out that safety was always #1, but they never saw it that way. The departments I supported were thrilled with my customer service skills, the thoroughness of completing every task I was given. I was told by my management to forget perfection, it cost too much and took too long. After doing every job task 100%, for my entire career, I wasn't going to finish my career doing things any other way... The decision to walk from this career was torturing, but staying and doing it any other way would of been worse than staying. So I left.
