The Ritz It Is Not
By txmed • Sep 4th, 2007 • Category: UncategorizedI was walking past a patient room the other day (not one with my patient in it mind you) and someone starts hollering from it:
“Doctor! Doctor are you out there?!”
Someone in distress! I turn back and peek my head in. The guy is sitting on the edge of his bed in no acute distress with a tray of food in front of him.
“Can I help you?” I ask.
“Yeah, what is going on here?!” He asks angrily, motioning to the tray in front of him.
“What do you mean?”
“This,” He picks up a limp pancake and drops it back on his plate. “Is not breakfast!”
“Maybe you should call your nurse…” I move on, grateful not to get dragged into that, but ever so remorseful for the BS his nurse is about to get. They take a lot of it unnecessarily but an appropriate full fledged thank you for such probably needs a dedicated post.
