Also the inappropriate comments and demands.<br /><br />Or, he's just rude. There should be an icd-9 code for that, and you should receive extra reimbursement for spending 30 minutes face-to-face counseling a patient who is afflicted with rudeness.<br /><br />I've found that there are many people who play the rich game (like the Obama party crashers) who are NOT rich. Maybe they once were or they know the culture well, or they were born into it or aspire to it, but they've not really done as well financially as they'd like you to believe. And they're the biggest flaunters of pseudo wealth--they wave it around to distract you from their sad, sad truth. And, no, the sadness isn't from the fact that they're not rich, as it is that being rich is the only thing that matters to them. THAT is sad. <br /><br />I'm a pharmacist who used to blog occasionally about people who smell bad or who squirted me with their used nasal steroid bottles, or who screamed to try to get me to fill their brand-name Vicodin early, etc. Yes, most people are really great, and some of these are noteworthy, but the people most fun to blog about are the crazy aywholes. Or the complete dimwhits. <br /><br />Keep up your awesome blog, Dr. G!
