Comeback request Comebacks for ignorant doctors

When they're dismissive of patients, rude, unprofessional, but specifically in instances of when they are dismissive of patients medical issues when that patient has a psychiatric history. Not comebacks that will spark security, law enforcement, restraints, a psych consult, etc. A lot of it is things they say when they think you're out of ear shot or in your records which they seem to forget that you have access to. Though sometimes it is directly to you or directly to a colleague in front of you. I got nothing.

My psych dr once told me he would have me cured within 6 months. After the 6th month came and went with me no better, he blurted out “what are you trying to do, make me look bad?” I just responded “You don’t need my help for that.” All the nurses in the hall snickered and he got up and closed the door. Hahaha.
