Me: Hi, it's been awhile. What's hurting today?
Drug seeker: Oh, it's my headache! It's a 10/10!!!!!!!"
Me: [Performs half-assed assessment] I'm going to grab you a blanket, and it looks like Dr. No Bullshit is caught up and will be in to see you shortly.
Drug seeker: Oh, he's on? He don't like me. Can I have that form to sign so I can leave and go somewhere else?
Me: Sure.
oooh, I like that.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many times Dr No Bullshit is on call ? Hehehe
ReplyDeletesmart girl, she is. hopefully she'll be able to recover from her addiction! and kudos to dr. no bull shit. doctors who over-prescribe need to realize that they might be making their own lives easier in the short term, but in the long term, they are doing far more damage than good. side note- i went to a new doctor for the first time the other day. she asked me if i was interested in stopping smoking. i told her i was thinking about it. her response: we have medications to help with that. i thanked her, but said i was really more concerned about my weight at this point in time. she replied, we have medications to help with that. i told her that i think i'd rather try weight watchers. i wonder if i told her i was having some anxiety if she would have said, we have benzos to help with that......
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo!

Can you say Dr. NoBS works every night? I'd be tempted...
Awwwessome. See you at shift change, miss drug seeker!
ReplyDeleteDr.NoBS get's a huge gift basket from all the nurses every year, doesn't he? So he doesn't even think of going off to work somewhere else. ;-)
ReplyDelete"gets" (And I'll take that apostrophe and leave quietly, again.)
ReplyDeleteYou should have a picture of the doc's on duty. Make Dr. NOBS permanent. That would keep maybe half the the drug seekers away.
