You know how some days we have things on our minds and all we need to do to feel better is just get them off our chests!!! It can be anything....from not finding matching socks to silly co-workers...anything goes!!! What do you think? |

I was told it is only the business of the patient and not mine to know what they are doing. I must not look at his charts because they are confidential. Can you believe it. Meanwhile the patient is not able to comprehend what is going on and asks you! (Never mind that the patient is virtually stone deaf and the hearing aid has been removed)! The Doctors are almost worse because they are invisible, they communicate nothing and just order this or that to be done, no one can tell you why. Oh I am so frustrated with them! Thanks Krissy - feel better now, lol |

There is no reason at all for their disrespectful behavior! Do you have Power of Attorney for your husband? If you did then they have to let you see his chart. Don't let them walk all over you. |

But it still p.....ed me off!
