Been wondering - I had to ask a lot of my docs lately 'cause of a disablity reivew (tons of paperwork etc) and just in general on-going to the docs offices we frequent.... do any of you (and bribe isnt the word), maybe let the appreciation of the staff known to them by bringing any kinds of treats or????? (of course drug reps do that all the time - but those are bribes!)

I know most offices are very busy, and for those of use with chronic health issues we're seen more often, want records, etc.... I try to always be sure thank people.... I want them to know their hard work is appreciated but at the same time - not be perceived as trying to manipulate a doc or along those lines....

Baking treats is out of the question for me cause of PN issues, but is that is appropriate anyway? (can always buy some yummy cookies or something) I do know that many of them are super stressed - couple of years ago I had to ask a nurse to go above and beyond when she was already having a bad day - she did it - but wasnt happy... send her a small thank you bouquet of flowers and the next day she called crying, saying no one ever thanked her...

So just wondering - is it appropriate to occasionally "treat" the office staff? OR????????
