What am I doing wrong?I mean I must be doing it wrong.Seems every where I turn I get disrespected.


I called my gastro office this afternoon.To see if the Doctor had called in a new perscription for me.


She very rudley said.I suggest you check with your pharmasist!!!!I had by the way ALREADY CALLED.But she couldnt have known that.I couldnt speak after she said what she said.Then she hung up on me.


I've been having a bad time with my intestinal spasms.The medicine I've been on STOPPED WORKING.I am F'n miserable with pain.So this was an important call to make.


I just wish people would at least give it a try at being half way decent human beings..Makes me feel like I am an alien from another planet.I've said this before I know.Does any body know what I am not comfortable out there..Bee-Bop plap bob take me home

Hi Doreen


Why some people must just be rude is beyond me but it seems more often than not a lot of people are these days.

I know what you mean by the negative feelings you get whne someone speaks rudely or harshly to you. I'm sorry you met with that at the doctor's office. As someone who does a LOT of phone work for a doctor, I can say that, even though the frustration and stress of the job sometimes puts people very close to the edge, it should never be taken out on the patient. I agree that you were probably in the wrong place at the wrong time...one of those times when the nurse was feeling as if JUST ONE MORE PHONE CALL AND I'M GOING TO EXPLODE! Hopefully, she will be much more pleasant next time you talk with her.


I work with another nurse who is the kindest-hearted person and her patients adore her. But she does have a rather brusque manner and I've often thought that if she were talking with someone who didn't know her well, she could certainly be considered rude

doreen it sounds like you need to find some confidence in yourself.all of us do need that tool to get thru life,so that we dont become a doormat for people like that person who belittled you on the phone.
