Sometimes, physicians can get very snippy with their staff. (Maybe all that schooling goes to their head?) One day, I was doing an escort to a doc's office with a resident. She needed stitches removed. She is combative and she has alzheimer's-no orientation whatsoever. I asked the doctor if he needed me to hold her while he removed the stitches because she is very combative. He waved me away and said he knew her for over 20 years and that he could handle her and i needed to just "sit over there"! So I sat in the chair like an obedient cna. As he tried to remove her stitches with the scissors She grabbed his wrist and smacked him. He shouted "You get over here now and hold this woman NOW!" The nerve of this guy! I forewarned him and I offered him help-that he refused. So that just goes to show you doctors don't always know it all and they are not always kind to staff!
