Got into a 'fight' with a patient today....
   
Advertisements [?]
My blood pressure is getting out of control with the election, the Series here in Philly and the insanity which has accompanied both, the economic trials of attempting to run an ethical health-care business and to stay alive.

I had just fielded about six phone calls from distraught people and I walked into the room to check a patient who had just had her dental prophylaxis. She is actually quite friendly, but right from the get-go she said to me, and this is a quote, "We're finished as a country if Obama's elected." My reply to these sorts of statements from patients has been, "Why do you say that?" with a smile of course. She replied, "Because he's a socialist and wants to spread the wealth around."

Unbelievably, I went right into attack-mode WHICH I NEVER DO - and I said, "Please listen to me...please just stop and listen to me. Please. This morning no one less than andrea Mitchell, married to Alan Greenspan and certainly no friend to socialists of any stripe, told your fellow-traveler Joe Scarborough that this quotation was taken out of context and that he was describing arcane points of law. Obama's a centrist Democrat, for crying out loud, he doesn't even believe in Gay Marriage. What does it take to get through to people like you. Look, I know you're going to vote for McCain and that's fine, but do it for reasons which you and everyone else with a brain, feel are legitimate. And what's more, i know you well, and you would NEVER EVER vote for the black guy."

She had no denial of the last point, and for the rest, she just dismissed it with a wave of her hand, and said, "Please just check my teeth, I have to get to lunch." I did so, stood my ground - did not apologize for my 'outburst' and she left with a smile and a good goodbye.


I never ever do this...this is really the first time...and what bothered me is that when I started the rant, my voice got pitched and I could almost feel myself crying with frustration that a well-educated, well-comported lady would just repeat this kind of talking point with me and then dismiss me with a wave of her hand as though I was insignificant. After 27 years. and you know what...I'm glad I did it in this case. she'll be back or she won't - probably will, I participate in her insurance plan. and that's what counts.

This election is going to sort many things out.

And he/she is called on it for being unprofessional..

5. That's not what I expect from a professional whether physician, dentist, barber, bartender, etc. n/t

Then someone with a md on the end of his/her name comes up with a much better story..

vote for Obama because he is a Muslim, and once a Muslim, always a Muslim. I told her I had had enough of lies, that A) there is no crime being a Muslim and B) he is not a Muslim any how. I then reminded her that false witness was a breech of the Ten Commandments. I told her that she was welcome to find another doctor. The next day, there was a complaint to hospital administration about that mean old doctor from her employer-the sheriff of Collin County Texas. (reddest of the red, in case you haven't heard). The next day was I was paying for my tires when the attendant at the Goodyear Tire store pulled his knife out and stuck it to my throat because "anyone who votes for Obama should be shot and killed". It's great to be a Texan during election season.

It's got a sheriff (no bushes though).   No SO

The intern primitive is a hoax.

While one can accept that there might be attorneys, three or four of them, among the primitives, one doubts Skins's island holds much of an attraction for other professionals, who simply don't have the time to hang around there.

Physicians and dentists and veterinarians and somesuch are just too busy in real life to bother with Skins's island.

I suspect the intern primitive, rather than being a dentist, is the person who comes into the office after office-hours, to clean it.

These idiots need dictionaries. Socialism is what it is. They can't twist the word into meaning what they want it to mean.

Interestingly, after posting my comment here, and then getting out the boat and rowing over to Skins's island to see what the primitives are doing, I bumped into a comment by a primitive alleging to be a physician.  "Sponane" or "Spanone" or something like that.

Yeah, right.

If skinner's island were a fertilizer factory, he'd never have enough packaging, pallets, rolling rail stock, trucks, etc... to keep up with the output.

Me either. They're probably all Democrats anyway.

So an orderly pretends he is an MD and then invents a bouncy to boot.  I have never heard of a doctor or any other medical professional discuss politics.  Political or other controversial statements are usually met with a small smile and studiously ignored.

Nothing new here at the DUmp.

You are insignificant.  You're a liberal.  That you're so stupid you don't realize it is your problem.

Actually, I do have political discussions with my chiropractor.  Thing is, he's on exactly the same wavelength as I am.  He's from New Hampshire, originally, and he takes the saying "Live Free Or Die" pretty seriously.

Obama is a "centrist Democrat" ?? Imagine how much further left Obama would have to be to qualify as a genuine leftist at the DUmp. Sheesh.

Obama said he was gonna spread the wealth around, and has put forth a taxation model to do just that. The leftist dicks can weave and dodge all day long changing language to try fool people, but that don't change what he said or proposed one bit.
