I stand corrected. In your case they start getting bitchier. After all, look what they have to put up with. Those poor people! 🙁DrYo12 said:that's what you think...

I only shudder to think that those poor bastards that are sick enough to require medication will have to come see you.bananaface said:I stand corrected. In your case they start getting bitchier. After all, look what they have to put up with. Those poor people! 🙁

There is no reason to take offense to patients initial attitude. It's got jack to do with you. So, get a thick skin and don't worry about it. Just concentrate on the goal of having as positive an interaction as possible. Learning to manipulate people's behavior (including our own) is a big part of becoming a successful clinician. Even if you don't want to be a clinician, the whole "I shouldn't have to put up with this crap" attitude doesn't make the experience easier on anyone. You have to put up with it. Deal!![]()
That's a chunk of animosity there, hm? Well, whether you want to appreciate it or not, my experience does apply to yours. There are two types of patients: those who are capable of controlling their actions and those who are not. The latter you just have put up with, because you know that they are incompetent in some way. You get more of them than I do, but I get some of them. The former we share commonly. These patients don't get magically nicer when they come to a pharmacy. And if you choose to, you can manipulate their behavior. It takes time, effort, and the willingness to critique and change your own behaviors. Unless you take the inititive and are willing to take responsibility for the quality of your patient interactions, they are going to suck. It's that simple.UCSFbound said:Thats a pretty ballsy comment from someone who doesnt have to deal with these types of people everyday. Sure, you get to tell them how to take their meds and what they should look out for. Try and get a history from one of these people. Try to exam them while they call you a cocksker. Until you have walked through our shoes you can't begin to understand the bullsht that we put up with while wearing a smile. I dont pay 30K a year to be treated like I'm the scum of the earth by patients. I suggest you not give me advice on something that you havent yourself experienced. Go back to counting your pills.
