Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope today’s a good day for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How’s it going? I hope you are doing really well.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have a really important bipolar lesson for you today.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s how I thought of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday after I got back from babysitting three kids and two dogs (which is a really hard thing to do but fortunately someone else was there to help), I was planning my week out which I almost always do on Sundays.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was noticing that someone that I hired about 5 to weeks ago or so has accomplished more in 4 weeks than the previous people in her position had done in 6 months.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s amazing. This person is truly incredible. She is handling so many things and helping to dramatically advance the entire organization so we can help more and more people dealing with bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There was one person that I hired a few months back that had excuse after excuse as to why she couldn’t get things done. I heard it all. This most recent person came in and did everything she was suppose to do, plus 5 times as much in 20% of the time. It was amazing.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She is a great person.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last 8 months I have hired some really great people and some really, really, really bad people unfortunately. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This got me to thinking about the true cost of <\/span>bad people with bipolar disorder. Bad people who <\/span>are suppose to help you with bipolar disorder are <\/span>like bad employees and contractors. <\/span>This can happen in several ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For example, a bad doctor. <\/span>A bad doctor can really <\/span>throw off your loved one’s bipolar disorder. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They can get bad prescriptions \u2013 their medication can be “off,” even throwing them into an episode, or even if they don’t go into an episode, they may become a handful for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Their thoughts can become distorted, their thinking can be just as “off” as their medication \u2013 they can even become delusional or start to hallucinate or become violent.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All because of the true cost of a bad doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You can avoid this by using my good-doctor finding system that I teach in my courses\/systems below:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You might think you’re saving money by going to a cheaper doctor, but you’re really not.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You have to figure out the TRUE cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the same thing with your loved one’s therapist.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you want the least expensive, or do you want one who is truly going to help your loved one to get better?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A bad doctor and\/or therapist can cost you a ton in the long run. <\/span>They have cost my mom hundreds of thousands of dollars, and at times I wondered if she got any better at all!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You might think that’s an exaggeration but it isn’t. My mom LOST hundreds of thousands of dollars from bad doctors and therapist. HUNDREDS of thousands.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So there are some good doctors and therapists, and there are some bad doctors and therapists. <\/span>You just have to find a good one who will help your loved one.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was thinking about this because Megan, who works for <\/span>me, had pointed out to me that I have to really work hard on the front end of hiring. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If I try to hire someone just <\/span>because they don’t want as much money as someone else <\/span>who has the same skills, it might come back to bite me! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I just have to think about hiring the best person for the job, instead of the cheapest, just like I was telling you about the doctor and therapist for your loved one.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The point is, it’s not whether you hurt your doctor’s or therapist’s feelings or not, if you have to change doctors or therapists because the one you have isn’t really helping your loved one.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just like I can’t be worried about hurting the feelings of someone I have to fire if they’re not doing their job, or worrying about saving or spending money on hiring a better person for the job even though it might cost me more money.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The most important thing is your loved one and managing their bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And you can’t be thinking that the cheapest doctor or therapist is the best, just because they’re the cheapest. <\/span><\/span>Actually, they’re usually not the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the opposite is also true. <\/span>Don’t think that the most expensive doctor or therapist is the best, either, just because they’re the most expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s usually the one that comes somewhere in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But you need to spend time researching who you are working with. This includes not only doctors and therapists but everyone. Your Primary care physician. Your pharmacist. Your employee rehabilitation person (if you have one), etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You must screen. You must not just take any old person.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And finally don’t fall for the “we have to take so and so because this is the only option.” There’s always another option than taking any old random bad person.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone have any comments on working with bad people versus good people with bipolar disorder and how devastating it turned out to be?<\/span><\/p>\n
