Not to go off topic but medical people are overly casual with men as well now. My grandfather was in the nursing home and the aides all decided to call him "JoJo" because his name was Joseph. He just shut his eyes as he was too polite to object. |
Weird, my concierge PCP asked in our first appointment what I would like to be called, and whether I preferred to call her Dr. _______ or by her first name. She’s still in business so I guess she has great liability insurance. |
This is so disrespectful I’m sorry. I just think women have it worse because it’s immediate based on pregnancy. (Also could your parents have said something on his behalf?? My parents would have been livid if someone treated my grandmother this way, the nurses in her facility called her Mrs. Surname until she passed, and then attended her funeral so it wasn’t like they disliked her) |
Cuz you’ve got some red effing flags already written in your chart, lady. Your future providers are forewarned. |
If you think not wanting to be called “mom” by a medical professional is a red flag I truly feel for your patients. |
