Yeah, before I opened my own practice, the owner (a physician) of the practice I worked at was the tightest person for money I ever knew. Two examples.
We had a template for allergies. The name of the template was NKDA. Clicking on it made: No Known Drug Allergies.
We never new for a few days why he would get so furious that it said, No Known Drug Allergies. He came out of a room one day screaming, "Make it say NKA, No Known Drug Allergies." So, I changed it to NKDA. He screamed again, "Not NKDA, just NKA." When we finally asked him why, he stated, "Because it uses less toner."
I was always running out of paper for my printer so I asked the MAs to add paper everyday or check to see it was full. So, they asked the owner if they should fill his printer with paper everyday. He told them to put in 20 sheets and only 20 sheets. Like you were going to tell the mother that you wanted to write for an antibiotic, but you had used the 20th sheet of paper.
