Don’t let personal problems show at the surgical office. Everyone has a bad day occasionally, but that’s no reason others should suffer. If personal issues are stressing you, behave professionally. Be cheerful and helpful with patients. Focus on doing your job efficiently. And interact in positive ways with fellow staff members… even when personal problems are nagging at you. Do all this and you’ll probably feel better, too!
