Literally laughing out loud. Thank you, Smerf, for making my day.

A patient called my CI a sadist and called me a sadist in training.. which is completely uncalled for but we both laughed.
"sadism" noun1. The deriving of sexual gratification or the tendency to derive sexual gratification from inflicting pain or emotional abuse on others.
2. The deriving of pleasure, or the tendency to derive pleasure, from cruelty.
3. Extreme cruelty.
Yikes!

I heard this a lot when volunteering.
Some patients clearly seem to desire this type of therapist and seem to expect it, regardless of whether or not their therapist is one who seems to buy into the "no pain, no gain" philosophy (which, has never made any sense to me).
Some of you may have seen/observed those therapists that seem to cause more pain for their patients than others. I have never been able to rectify how, when a patient comes to me with a primary issue of pain, it then makes sense to reproduce their symptoms or make them more uncomfortable.
lol!
I had a patient try to hook me up with her grandson. While he was in the room. We both were pretty embarrassed when she told me that, while she couldn't confirm his current state, as a baby he had a very big penis for his size.
I had one women credit me for saving her life. Her doctors performed miracles on her. I just gave her some positive encouragement afterwards and some basic ther ex that got her up and walking within a week (which was completely expected). Yet I was the hero and the doctors were idiots.
Can't wait for my next placement to start!

Lol, healthcare does share some similarities (and differences, of course) with the service industry.
I had people tip me from time to time when I sold musical instruments in retail... This was even though a portion of my salary was on commission and no tipping structure setup.
