AFM is a community

Arlington Family Medicine is a community.Arlington Family Medicine is where i work and we truly are a community not just a group of people. we work everyday together and we work well. We are there for each other when someone needs each other. We are all different in our own way ,dealing with our all our own problems but when we step in the doors of the office every morning we leave it at the door and come together and help each other out when we need it, and when we cant leave it at the door we are all each others shoulders to cry on.  We all know that each others jobs are equally difficult and hard so we alway try and help the other out if we arent busy , thats what really holds us together, the fact that we know what each other is going through, through out the day.
At my work the majority is women and there are three doctors who are men but the rest are women, so i would say we have a lot in common. we all value family highly, such as if some ones family member is sick or having a problem we will cover for the other one so they can go deal with that. we all share the need of money ,and thats why anyone works, because they need money. we also share a lot of the same interest in clothes, food, and in views on this. At times there is tension in the office when some one doesn't do something exactly right, or leaves work for some one else to do when they could have done it themselves. things like that cause tension but also help us be better workers so the same mistake doesn't happen twice.
I fit in this community in more ways than one. I grew up going to the office to see the doctor and also to see my mom. She is the manger at arlington family and so I have grown up going there and around the people that work there. when I finally got my licence is when i started working here with my mom, to me it is a place of comfort. I know everyone that works there and they know me, and a few of the workers are mothers of my friends so they truly have known me my whole life, and its easy to work with people you know. so people ask me if its hard to work with your mom, but for me I wouldn't have it any other way. its a great job and also a great feeling to fit in to this community of people.
