- A mid 60s patient say that I have a gorgeous face/that I'm gorgeous on a couple of occasions.
- A 90ish year old patient ask if I'm married, state that she could set me up with her niece, then reneged, stating "she's 70, so maybe that wouldn't work"
All females.
For my patients, I often just sit with them and listen; they normally feel rushed by the others.
Bedside manner is one of the lost aspects of being a doctor, or a nurse, or a PA. It is helpful not only to understand what the issue is, but to make the patient feel valued as a person, and genuinely cared about by their attending staffer. That helps in the healing process.
Amusing stories. How do women in the age ranges you like respond?
