Dear patient: nobody likes a pottymouth
« on: May 09, 2017, 06:12:58 PM »
Dear patient:

Thank you for coming by my office without an appointment to file a complaint about me firing you from the clinic.  Perhaps you thought wearing a low-cut top to show off your supple 26 year old breasts would sway me from my decision.  I do not like it when you call my reception staff at the clinic a 'f***ing b**ch', 'God*mn wh*re', and 'I am going to cut you if you step from behind that desk'.  As I pointed out in my letter, this is why I am firing you. Technically, by coming to my office, you violated the no trespass order that I wrote out for you, but I will let that go.  Thanks for the mammaries, and I hope you find a nice new clinic somewhere else.

You are one lousy risk manager.

While I'm sure that in this case the patient has no cause for her behavior, every time I read about your trials with these people I wonder how it is that the art of outrage has so declined.

I learned from my mother, who is a master of outrage. Though she rarely indulges (and only when really provoked) it is a sight to behold. When a somewhat round woman, 5'3 on a good day, can transform into a majestic goddess of wrath and disapproval, people cower and concede wrong doing. Yet she does this without using one cuss word, with perfect grammar and exceedingly precise language.
It is a beautiful thing... Well, unless you are the target, then it sucks ass.

Sort of like Pasquale's guardian angel?

I love your clinic stories, MillCreek.

They're ever so very heartwarming...

Good guy MillCreek. I'm quite sure your staff appreciate you. Lot of folks take the "customer is never wrong" thing way too far and let customers abuse the hell out of the staff.

This is one of those things video cameras and youtube were invented for.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

^^^^^^^THIS.  Because, this thread is worthless without pictures...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

HIPPA, I imagine. Though there should be a clear exemption for this setting.

'I am going to cut you if you step from behind that desk'.

Sounds like your reception staff needs some combat training.  Give her a real reason to be hanging out at medical facilities for the next 6-8 weeks.

Coming to complain about being a former patient wouldn't be covered under HIPPA.   Trespass laws maybe, but not HIPPA...
