[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been fired as a patient.

I was young, mid-20s, and tore my ACL.  Through a connection, I had the best knee surgeon in the area at the time.  And at a follow-up appt after surgery, where I made the 8am appt because I had to be at work at 9am, the narcissistic a$$hole doctor showed up at 9, because he was held up by a meeting with the contractor who was renovating his kitchen.

[b]I expressed my displeasure at his arriving an hour late for his first appointment of the day because I was afraid I would lose my job.[/b]  When I left, at checkout, they literally copied the "orthopedic" section of the yellow pages, and told me not to choose one to see and to not come back.

If I remembered the jerks name, I would share who it was, but it was over 35 years ago, and I've forgotten [/quote]

You can express your displeasure, but just as doctors aren't supposed to be abusive (express anger, be snide, make cutting remarks, be insulting) to patients, there are expectations of respectful behavior from patients, too.

I mean, if you were that mad that it is bringing up what you express in a post over 35 years later, that was not going to be a therapeutic alliance anyway. Certainly you would have wanted out with your records to see someone else, right? You weren't going to stay and take that kind of attitude and disrespect from him, were you?
