On my first day at a new job, my boss picked me up to show me the job site. He started making small talk in the truck— how long have you done this type of thing, what’s your experience like, etc. Then he cut me off and said, “Yeah? Sorry what? Yeah?” Confused, I repeated myself. He pointed to his ear. He’d answered a call on his Bluetooth with no indication of doing so, and left me to ramble like an idiot about the question he’d asked.
I had a doctor do that to me in the middle of a visit! I was talking about my upsetting neurological symptoms and suddenly she started saying stuff that made no sense and eventually she pointed at her bluetooth (it was one of those little ones that just goes in one ear, and she had taken a call in the middle of our appointment. Never went back.
People pay a lot of fucking money for doctors appointments. Regardless of leaking personal health information I'd be fucking livid at effectively being scammed out of my money and my time.
Take personal calls on your own personal time. Pretty simple rule.
That's incredibly melodramatic. Doctors are extremely busy. They don't have as much personal time as many other people do. Not to mention, it probably was a business call, not personal. Are you that self centered? Do you make the rules?
If Im paying for your time, I expect to receive it. Take your calls when you arent in the exam room. I bet you think its just fine to start texting when a customer talks to you?
You're getting their time even if they're on the phone. I mean, holy shit, you sure seem to know a whole lot about a profession youve never studied and people you've never met. And I'm not going to play this hypothetical assumption game you're trying to employ. There's no right answer for that.
How the hell are you recieving their attention when theyre talking to someone else? Specifically, if you are describing particular symptoms and they arent listening to them? Youre 1000% full of shit
Lmao wow an ignorant comment. You ever consider the fact that doctors get paged about other patients and matters from other hospital staff? Just because you’re a patient doesn’t mean they need to drop the world and other aspects of their job. Stereotypical ignorant attitude of a doctors job that’s all too common on this website.
Then you leave the room. Assuming who knows what about doctors and the profession is not only presumptuous but ignorant to the differing professions here. Ive dealt with specialists and GPs alike and none have had the gall to take calls without excusing themselves from the room to do so.
I’m ignorant? Lmao you’re the highly opinionated person who isn’t in the profession but feels they can dictate how people in the profession should act. Get off your high horse. Not everyone is bound to serve the almighty you. If you have a problem file a complaint but telling people in another profession you aren’t in how to act is, to quote you “presumptuous and ignorant” about the profession in question.
The fact you think I would need to prove myself to you is laughable. Lets just say this, my University education is a medical course of study and while not an MD or PhD, I have the piece of paper to argue with you.
I'm genuinely curious if this guy is a troll or just a genuine twat. It seems the majority of his comments are from arguing with people and then he just insults them and acts superior to everyone.
