The weather forecasts have been remarkably accurate recently. They forecast intermittent heavy "pulses" of rain,followed by a sunny interval and have been getting it dead right now for over a week. Over the weekend they predict a better day tomorrow, (today we are enjoying a prolonged "pulse")followed by another lousy day on Sunday. We shall see how long they can keep it up..
Today a couple come in for the first time, having just changed from an adjacent practice which, they said, was staffed by doctors "who are just cold and impersonal, they just wanted to get us out of there as quickly as possible" After completing our business they both announce that I am far and away the best doctor they have ever met, "you seem genuinely interested in us as individual people", such a change from the ones they have had to put up with in the past, etc etc.
But I have seen this scenario before. Beware the patient who praises you to the skies while bad-mouthing all the others. It may not be long before you yourself are added to their hate list.
