Sick Attitute

Doing quite some locum lately. I'm sick of some patients' attitute.

Those who come in and tell you what drugs they want (but they don't really have a clue what they are taking). "Give me the yellow colour and the green colour one..."

Those who just want a 'quick fix', forget about patient education and following up to this group of patients. (even frequent asthmatic who just want nebuliser and oral drugs and refused to follwow up and to put on inhaller)

Those who comes in and tell you straight that they want exactly the same set of medication the principle doctor had prescribe earlier although this time they comes in with similar but different diagnosis.

Those who wants everything you can offer doesn't matter he/she needs it or not.

Those who wants admission for even a very very small problem because they can claim insurance.

Those who think their insurance company will pay for everything and ask you to give them the best the money can buy in ur clinic/hospital and on top of that, ask for some extra other things for free(like those ahsoh going to market buying vegie but ask for free chilli when they left the stall).

Of coz also those who comes in for MC, for sleeping pills etc etc...
