You're waiting in an exam room for a doctor you've been seeing for 8 years.
Doc enters with no chart, no tablet, no notes. You assume he looked it over before he came in.
You are wrong.
DR: So, you need to renew your meds?
YOU: Yep.
DR: Do you have any ongoing condition that I should know about?
YOU (pick jaw up off floor) Yes, I have _____.
DR: Oh, that's serious. Who's treating that for you?
YOU: Um, you are.
I think I need a new doctor.
@BrazenlyLiberal wow…you do need a new Dr. That’s really bad recall! 🤦🏻♀️

If he didn't remember me, that's not as bad as the fact that he didn't bother to glance at the record before coming in.
@BrazenlyLiberal I think he should have remembered you. Maybe he depends on the Staff for that?
But you’re right that scanning your chart so he knows what he’s talking about would be minimal good patient relations. Makes you look a smarter too…
