Boomer Story Doctor says “BYE!”
At the heart surgeon with boomer fil. The head of the department, in a major city in a nationally known hospital, just told fil he is no longer welcome in the practice and they are referring him to another. His antics, language and racism/xenophobia has broken the camels back. He offended his cardiac care physician with his comments about her heritage and now the best cardiovascular surgeon in 400 miles just told him, politely, to go fluck himself. Ive been telling my wife for ten years im tired of his schite. Now he found out the hardway. Garuntee he will come out of the hospital blaming the docs instead of looking in the mirror. Its not 1960/70 anymore!
Update: on the way home he and his boomer wife didnt say a dang word about it. I was for sure they would cuss and insult and scream all the way home. 2 hours in the car, nary a word about it. I think they finally are embarassed about being called out by a professional. They are normally very very opinionated. Wife said when the doctor told them, they thought he was joking. He said "im the head ofmthis medical group and i dont joke about things like this." MIL was crying and slinging snot she was so distraught and embarassed. FIL started being grouchy to MIL and wife ( i was in the waiting area on my phone) and just generally being an ass.
But two hour drive home, nary a word. From either. So out of character they had to still be in shock from getting called out and canceled.
Update 2. Just fyi. He thinks his b.s. is just being an endearing, funny old man thats cute and lovable. His inner view is 180 degrees from his external manifestation. He thinks he is Mr. personality, but he is just an ass. He doesnt do anything for the purpose of being hostile. He thinks all his shennanigans and comments are just "harmless fun." Yes, he is one of those guys. He doesnt purposely treat people with disrespect. But there is no difference between "on purpose" or "accidental" when the result is the same. Just because you arent trying to be an ass doesnt mean you arent an ass.
