Your incendiary, unvarnished opinions will be missed, both for their humor and their content. Of course, I think you'll be back, too. Oh sure, at first you'll just lurk. But that can only last so long before you start to think "this jack-ass has no idea what he's talking about" and you step back in. One or two threads about research should do it. :laugh: Until then, have a great trip!
 
👍 one can only hope that this lasts more than a few days...

How did it happen that a pharm chick hangs out mostly in a pathology forum? I've never seen a pathology groupie before. Do they lug your microscopes out to the van after a show?

All they're thinking about the whole time is getting a biopsy of that mole under your left jug.

You get props for not referencing CSI.

How did you know about my mole? 😕

I see that you have been cruising the Path forum more and more. Join the dark side you will.
 
It is silly that I'm not the only pharm-chick who reads path. I mean I don't post as much as this girl but it's pretty cool. If I hadn't gotten into pharmacy school I think I would've tried to get into vet or med school (yeah real decisive) to go be a pathologist. I work at a veterinary diagnostic lab and love it. Nothing like the smell of formalin in the morning!

Path has been one of the very few fields I can picture myself going into, ever since my first day of clinical preceptorship, second week of medical school. Patient contact is for masochists and people who lost a bet.

Can't argue with this. I always thought I would like patient contact, but the fact was that the occasional pleasant patient and doctor doesn't make up for the other 90%. I am not totally sure what it is about patient contact that makes both the patients and the doctors so damn unpleasant to be around, particularly for the doctors who are ostensibly doing this to "help people." I was quite often the most pleasant person on all of my rounds, and I'm a bitter individual!

People only become more pleasant as they get to know you. So if you only meet people once, you are screwed.

Regardless of whether or not a patient "gets to know you", its purely inexcusable for one to simply be an ass to whom ever is trying to "take care of them". I've had one too many patients basically come in with a problem that they created, knew how to prevent, and then just be pissy with the whole team. I want to put my steel-toed boots into the ass of those patients. And yeah, not every patient is unpleasant, but as someone already said, those are few and far between.

Purely inexcuseable, hm? What are we going to do, kick out every rude patient? Not happening!

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! :laugh:
