This paper describes and explains how different stories for clinicians and administrators are constructed and how they influence occupational practices in healthcare organizations. To do that, we employed an analytical frame based on research that underscores the role of temporality and placing for organizing processes and professional relations. The enactments and constructions shown in the data carry consequences for behaviours and relations in practice, resulting in two parallel stories being present simultaneously. The stories tell how administrators and clinicians, respectively, are those with prerequisites that can be summarized as being privileged or undervalued. As these stories are in parallel, it becomes impossible for them to meet and converge, meaning that professional knowledge and initiative may be not sufficiently utilized, for both groups.
