1. Be nice.
2. Be polite.
3. Don't scold.
4. Don't yell at your patient (especially in front of her husband).
5. Don't talk about your patient like she isn't in the room.
6. Don't dismiss your patients primary concerns.
7. Don't send your pateint off for a glob of testing without answering her questions.
8. And never ever change your patients medication regimen while stating that the new drug will make her "...feel stupid".
(I kid you not.)
Any questions?
I had a disastrous neurologist appointment yesterday.
Please make my day...
if you know any physicians...
send them a copy of this.
If they are a particularly grouchy physician...
staple gun it to their shirt.
