About 9:45am this morning Hell Week officially opened. We had a state surveyor show up to follow up on a complaint we had reported. The complaint was a former employee stole a bank statement from a patient, apparently the same week she did this was when she walked out and quit. That happened to be the week in July I was on vacation.

Our business manager about 30 days ago noticed some suspicious withdrawals from the account. Well the stupid ass paid her bills with it and had direct TV installed at her house. Under federal law this is considered abuse and when we discovered it, we reported it. This is kind of a fucked up law, because when you self report you get a federal defiency tag.

Ok, fine I knew somebody would be dropping by for a day of survey. So in he comes and during the intake interview with him and my boss I notice another state car pull up, then another, then another...total of 5. Well shit..this isn't looking good. I asked him how many surveyors he brought with him and of course he says none. Uh oh.

Well this week it's annual survey time. My facility is crawling with surveyors. They usually show up in December but have a 90 day window either side of last years survey. Our window opened up 9/18.

Anyway, this will probably be it for me blogging the rest of the week until Saturday. For some reason the song phrase...Send Lawyers, Guns and Money won't quit going through my head.

See you on the other side.
