Posted over 2 years ago Who are your most annoying patients? I hate when patients lie to me about smoking or drinking, or anything else really.

| Posted over 2 years ago " The clients who," thrive upon gossip", overheard in / and around the nurse's station,then to approach other staff members:" Did you hear what she / he said about you ? OMG !" I use to," lend my ear to their unfounded ,words of wisdom", though after learning a lesson or two, have managed to avoid the BS,these days.Why should we bother ? Is it really worth, " stirring-up the animosity"? Forget about it!" |

| Posted almost 2 years ago My most annoying are the young women that come in to have a baby and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. "Can you give me some formula until the WIC office opens?' They have known for 9 months that they are pregnant. I guess that milk money would cut into hair, nails, gold, or blackberry. |

| Posted almost 2 years ago I think the most annoying patients are the ones who think they already know what's wrong with them, and when you try to assess them they will only tell you their self diagnoses. |
