  • quick one, but stupid

    I work in a very busy pediatric practice (9 providers). I fielded a complaint recently from a parent that thinks she "shouldn't be subjected to all these children in the waiting room".

    /sigh

      How much do you want to bet that she thinks Pediatric means feet?

        As long as they're able to tell the difference between a pediatrician and a pedophile...

          "mommy can i play?"

            She better find her own private pediatrician.

                Na. I can't stand children. Except my own, and in limited doses my nieces and nephews. Other people's kids? Ick.

                To the OP: Was the woman who complained at least the parent of a newborn? Or just completely stupid?

                  It could have been worse. The woman could have been complaining about the fact that the waiting room was full of children of varying stages oh health ranging from well (getting check-ups/innoculations) to the ill and possibly contagious.

                  That might have caused her even more distress than having to be subjected to children.

                        Here's a word I made up a LOOOONG time ago:

                        Necrohemahomopodapediphiliac.

                        Definition: Somone with a fondness for the blood from the feet of dead gay children.

                        When i worked at a state college library back in NJ, I entered a note inot a friend of mines records warning people the he was a known Necrohemahomopodapediphiliac.
                        He told me he had some trouble borrowing books for a while after that.

                          She had an 11 year old...so surely she has some inkling of how kids are. We were not even particularly busy that day.

                          After being ranted at for a good 10 minutes, I informed her that perhaps she would be happier with a different group. She hung up.

                            I wonder if she also gets in the pool and complains about being wet.
