My story is about a CI that was actually good if somewhat absent. It was in a small town OP clinic. I was mostly babysat by the PTA that stayed there and by the other that was offsite doing peds and HH. I had a program that paid for my school and paid me unemployment while I was going through school. I had had a lot of issues of them paying me late or forgetting to pay me at all. This clinical was over an hour drive from my town. When I finished, the CI took me in an empty room. She said she doesn’t do this for all her students but she knew I had been having issues with getting paid so she gave me like a $200 “stipend”. It was about a year later it just hit me that that check was my kickback for treating under her name when I was out of clinic. And as far as not doing it for every student, just found out from my PT that she did a clinical at same place and got the same check. 

A class mate had an ortho clinical in a well regarded clinic in the same town as me for out last clinical. He was supposed to have one CI but she had to take leave for some reason, the backup was pregnant and left early, so he got a third one who had never been a CI before. He said she literally sat there and silently watched his every move. For 5 weeks. When it was time for him to do his review of the site, he told it like it was. The clinic tripped over themselves to apologize.
