[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 1980747, member: 493719"] hahaha... Mmmh. Doesn't quite cover the exasperation though, does it. ( I know it's not, but for each poster like that, I always tend to see it, as if it was my mum or sister/brother/child... having a hard time and being spoken to like that, not sure i'd take it well. i think they sometimes forget we are people, going through a hard time, and not robots awaiting orders little background... Mum got diagnosed with cancer. family in room with doc..no word of what was wrong, but we knew it wasn't good, and we were all worried. Doc casually blurted it out at end of meeting, before telling us to go wait for more tests. Mum in shock..dad too. we left room as a group, mum in tears.. i then returned and spoke to doc, and maybe a bit too forthrightly told him his manner was appalling. kept it civil ..but only barely...(i make no apology, about it..i'd do it again ) Received apology ..as he believed we'd been spoken to earlier.,,was quite contrite about it. so i had to accept that. hopefully he checked with the next patients..)
