I'm glad there are still people out there like you, who actually see people as more than a chart with a credit card attached.<br /><br />I hope you can manage to be unavailable for a few days, yourself - you sound like you could use a day or two to not be anybody.Jenn Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322576000742062992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-25485251796213272009-04-10T12:58:00.000-04:002009-04-10T12:58:00.000-04:00I have to say this is terrible behaviour.

I'm not sure about how your healthcare system works but here if it was that bad a complaint could be sent to the Heath Trust who employs the doctor. How can a doctor just take off?Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-7798122585750213082009-04-09T22:51:00.000-04:002009-04-09T22:51:00.000-04:00Rudee--how dreadful to be treated that way when yo...Rudee--how dreadful to be treated that way when you're doing one the most important jobs in the world. I admire your integrity and your patient advocacy. The world needs more of you (and less bad docs).<BR/><BR/>Thank you and ALL of you wonderful nurses who care for our loved ones and deserve so much better from from the likes of that doc.<BR/><BR/>Glad you could vent...and I agree, this deserves to be published. How about a letter to JAMA or NEJM.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372015226222285350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-84750716148793323942009-04-09T20:08:00.000-04:002009-04-09T20:08:00.000-04:00Brenda-this was 2 different doctors.

I'd love to let him know his receptionist hung up on me, but I have to believe that he knows that she has an attitude.<BR/><BR/>Lisa- I HATE that too. Yes, I've had them do that to me in the middle of the night. But if you don't call them, they ream you out at the first opportunity. Don't they?<BR/><BR/>Renie- I wrote it, but I'm just venting here.

If you are the one who wrote that letter, that is. It's really terrible that you have to get all that run around from him. Good thing that your hospice doctor is so available when needed.Renie Burghardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660484248593903002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-12841191034483000602009-04-09T16:02:00.000-04:002009-04-09T16:02:00.000-04:00HATE that....ugh.

HATE docs who are assholes on the phone, HATE it when you have to wake them up in the middle of the noc for an order or to inform them of a death and they screech at you..even worse when the doc's spouse answers the phone and screeches at you.Ever had that happen? It ain't pretty. Especially at 2am. You sound like you have a great hospice doc on board...the receptionist you dealt with sounds like a nasty piece of work.Lisa Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923361717912751016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-77596391219847792202009-04-09T09:52:00.000-04:002009-04-09T09:52:00.000-04:00Are you going to send it to him?
