It had never happened in my 11 years of practice, and so when she just dismissed the mess I was shocked. I should have made her clean it then, but was too stunned to do so.<br /><br />I'd decided after she was back in my office that she couldn't check out (make a follow-up and schedule tests) until she cleaned it up. But one of the girls did it while she was back here.<br /><br />After she left we decided that if it ever happens again the patient isn't starting their appointment until they clean up.
