Yesterday I finished oral diagnosis on my patient's second appointment and brought him up to the cashier to pay for a radiograph we had taken and schedule him for his next appointment. He paid the cashier, accepted the change and tried to give me a 10 dollar tip! I was completely taken by surprise but thanked him and told him I couldn't accept his money. I have no idea if there is a school or professional policy on this or even what it would be but it I certainly didn't feel like I should be getting tips from patients.
Has anyone else had unexpected experiences like this with their patients?
