Both parents are doctors. They complain all the time how they get patients who have no idea what they are talking about come and assume they know better than them. Patients lie ALL THE TIME for no reason at all. Patients also expect long periods of 1:1 time with Doctors about dumb BS a Resident could handle by tossing handfuls of Motrin at the patients general direction and counting how many pills fall into their mouths.
I personally saw one patient scream many slurs at a Doctor for being bad at medicine after the doctor asked what drugs they may have taken (a innocuous question), and ripped out their IV and ran away.
This is the shit that Doctors/Nurses/Medical staff deal with. Hospitals are not a place to go to be pampered.
