[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a tip per se, but I always bring a gift basket of store-bought treats and Starbucks gift cards into my pediatrician's office in early December. The receptionists and staff are always friendly, and both peds have always called me back/talked to me on the weekends and after hours, etc.

I once did this for the urgent care center near my house during a year when we were there frequently. I'm really grateful that they are there and have always been kind and helpful during semi-scares. [/quote]

Actually if they prioritize your medical care because of these little gifts, that's not ok and an ethical code violation. In a little pediatrician office less noticeable to other patients, doubt the doctors care. However, as a nurse, it makes me horribly uncomfortable when patients have personalily offered me cash or anything other than a thank you note. I also could jeopardize my job accepting it as hospitals often have rules about it. If you give to a medical office or nursing unit, it should be to the whole office, such as bringing food that can be shared.[/quote]

I never said they prioritized me because I bring some food treats and Starbucks gift cards. They're a small family practice and they're awesome. That's about it, buddy. Hope you have a better night. [/quote]
