GO TO A HAPPY PLACE!

To be a practicing doctor, you have to have four years of college, three years of med school, and three years of internship.

To be an RN, you have to have four years of college.

You'd think after this, you would be able to perform simple tasks. You'd think you would be considerate to your peers.

You'd be wrong.

No wonder the medical field is in trouble in this country.

I'm convinced that some doctors believe one of two things about themselves:

1. They are God.
2. Since they went through a decade of school, it gives them the right to throw tantrums like 5 year-olds.

(I use to work for a doctor for two years as one of his receptionists while I was in high school. He was a classic case of #2. hehe. No pun intended.) :)

It has taken me 7 years of college (not including all the time doing prerequisites) and I know how to perform simple tasks While being considerate to my peers. Dang I'm good.

I hate it when I have to go with my mom to the doctor and she proceeds to tell him/her that she has diagnosed herself from info she found on the internet. The look the doctor gives makes me want to crawl under a table and die. Why can't they learn some nice phrase to say to people who don't know any better than to trust everything they read on the internet?

Yeah Rhia, doctors hate that. I think it goes to their pride. Their ten years of training and however many years of actual experience can be summed up in an internet article. It's better to just say that you think it might be something or other, but not mention the reading it on the net bit. Otherwise they may just ignore you because you hurt their tender little feelings.
