I hope you are doing okay.

It’s difficult to read or believe someone when the person has been a challenge for almost a year and now the same person is trying to be nice. What’s up? There is a reason under that change of attitude. You don’t know who they truly are. I don’t trust them especially when it’s a medical doctor who sees patients. It doesn’t bother me I worked with them for a long time. I know the tactics. It’s wrong, but luckily I understand, I am consistent in what I say and do. The expectation is that you have to continue to respect them despite how they treat you.

I had an MD come to me today and attempted to make me feel as if I was working behind the scenes to keep her program from growing after the sponsor rejected her first proposal of expanding her program. I can understand her ambition, but I don’t make the decisions. She has the right to submit a proposal again for expansion, but it’s not up to me. She kept pushing me to try and say or agree with her that it could be expanded. She tried to set me up to agree and it’s annoying. Despite me telling her to submit her request in September 2026, she kept pushing back and wanting to do it 3-5 months earlier. Me: “Well, it’s your decision, but be ready for the sponsor to reject again.” That’s the truth. After insisting a few more times to get me to agree and attempts to get me to get involved… The MD wanted to hear me say I will support it and make a call. It’s not my job. After receiving her rejection in writing with an explanation from the sponsor she wants to continue to insist and try another tactic just because the sponsor commented to the MD there were some budget challenges and also I have influence to tip the scale of finding cost savings.

She is a manipulative person and I have to be careful what I say and I shouldn’t have to. She has something up her sleeve of the reason to expand her program, but I’m sure I will get to the truth soon. The same person who has tried to put me in my place in the past and I continue to respond with the truth and direct. I ignore the manipulative words and fake smile and that tone that when you meet her it seems like she wouldn’t even hurt a fly. All the Best!
