I got up and walked OUT on a patient today. [View All]

Ugh! Hold me... :hangover:

Drug-seeker. She had a pretty good cover, too. She was slightly scoliotic, so I could believe she was in some pain. But she declined my non-narcotic treatment plan, and demanded tramadol. When I reiterated that my clinic does not prescribe narcotics, she got a little abusive.

I stood up and walked out. Last patient of the day, thank God, so I went into my office to chart the visit and cool off a bit.

She is scheduled to come in next week for some screening lab tests, but I think I've seen the last of her.

She'll go somewhere else to get her fix...

Other than that, mostly a good day today. B-)
