I wonder if the docs don't do this 'attitude' thing to men, cause they mite deck the doc?
Tempting thought for some occasions, isn't it?
Maybe just 'visualizing' a 'deck the doc' might be enuf for a person to really assert themselves constructively! Gee this is sounding better and better!
There are times tho, like you, Daniella, when I simply CANNOT believe what I just heard! I tend to repeat it back to them with a "So, you are saying X? I just want to be sure of what you just said" Once they hear it 'verbatim' back at them, sometimes a lot of 'backpedaling' is done. OH and I'm always there with a steno pad and pen scribbling away! If I don't write it down, I'm a goner! I blame it on the meds? - j
