That must be the pharmacognosy lecture I skipped in 4th year. <br /><br />At least on the phone, one can put a hand over the receiver, or something, when patients (or their representatives) call about why they don't have any refills left or other perfectly mundane subjects. (Sometimes these calls involve someone who is hard of hearing, then it's even more fun trying to control diaphragm or latent intestinal flatus.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-53796959026019685082009-09-19T11:34:49.373-04:002009-09-19T11:34:49.373-04:00Old MD Girl- Yeah, that drives me nuts.

The resident had decided to to send the 3rd year medical student with me, who kept trying to interject empathetic remarks, and clarify questions, on top of the patient not having a clue as to what was going on. OMG I wanted to hit my head against the wall. <br /><br />:-)OMDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937425894428802591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-48073505969215687362009-09-19T10:43:56.497-04:002009-09-19T10:43:56.497-04:00ERP- Just too much of the 60's.
