I'm lucky to have that sort of relationship with my patients, being a small town doc.ER's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203520439121823165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721171044050776789.post-65623643357555768482009-11-04T21:36:54.625-05:002009-11-04T21:36:54.625-05:00The patient SMACKED you?!

Damn.<br /><br />I'll never forget the time, as an administrator of a busy pediatric endocrinology practice, I had to cancel all of Monday's clinics on Sunday night because of a (drum-roll, please) HURRICANE. Several of the parents asked why the doctors wouldn't be at the clinic. Um, because it's a Hurricane, people! I finally just had to tell some that they could risk their lives to go stand out in front of the clinic doors if they wanted to, but I guaranteed nobody would be there.<br /><br />Funniest part is, it wasn't our diabetic clinic day, so I found myself having to explain that 'no, one day is not going to affect your child's height and/or the length of his penis.'<br /><br />UGH! Needless to say, I don't miss that job!student dr. blazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307156914515136574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721171044050776789.post-82780498111830473932009-11-04T06:37:23.085-05:002009-11-04T06:37:23.085-05:00I've been fired by patients because I had to c...I've been fired by patients because I had to cancel their appointment due to my own illness.
