Think like a doctor # Why can't patients just follow a simple treatment regimen

This is pretty old news but last Monday I got called by a patient that never showed up to transfusion and had the gall to call me yesterday. It's a clear case of MDS-EB so go fricking see your oncologist and get a blood transplant. I last saw her 2 years ago. I can review her EMR but we're at the point where I can just give a referral. The frick is she expecting since I'm not even listed on the sites page anymore

At least buy dinner first before being so entitled to just assume she's gonna just "show up" after you've not so much as talked to her for 2 years.

The day I buy dinner for a patient, especially one I haven't seen in years, is the day I start swearing at everybody.

You're going to wait until you snap and start swearing at everyone before deciding to treat a patient to dinner? Just sayin it doesn't have to come to that.

I leave patient care at work. Doing work outside of it is whatever but it's a number and not a name and face. When I'm stuck on a 13 hour flight, I literally can not give less of a shit.
