My 23rd patient today was a toddler with a cough and runny nose. He has been having symptoms, off and on, for three weeks. Mom is so tired. Her friend's son went to urgent care, got an antibiotic, and got better. This mom would like one for her son, too. 1/7
I’m literally telling a person they have cancer on the tip of their nose and needs aggressive surgery, and they asked me to hold on so they could order food at a restaurant.
They ordered a chicken bacon ranch sandwich, btw. And chicken soup for the hubs.
Yesterday I squeezed a patient in per his request and after I told him that it may be changed due to the snow, he says “oh, I’ve got a big truck, I’ll be there no problem.”
Guess who cancelled because they “can’t get out.”
