In IT, all the worst patients are doctors.
Hopefully no actual doctors answer this question though 🙂
Healthcare professionals as a whole, inclusive of doctors
Ethically horrible thing to ask. I hope no one answers.
There’s a 0% chance doctors don’t talk shit with each other about patients, just like in every other service profession. They literally talk shit about patients on charts sometimes.
The unethical thing would be if they revealed protected information in the process.
My sister doesn’t talk specifically about patients by name, but she’ll say things about what she told someone to do that they didn’t, and the consequence was exactly what she told them. Stuff like that.
Yeah. Same as a medical paper right? “A 37-year old male patient with a history of chloracne” or whatever.
I do not think it is appropriate to talk about any details, but something somewhat adjacent to this is that a lot of my colleagues didn’t go into pediatrics because they hate dealing with parents.
People usually see doctors when something has gone very wrong with their life. It’s scary when your body backs you into a corner, and fear makes people act stupid and angry. I would hope they could be given a little bit of slack.
I have family members who are doctors and they generally agree that the worst patients are physically/verbally abusive ones. Apart from that, they complain a lot about patients who don’t follow their advice and then get angry when they don’t get better.
don’t follow their advice and then get angry when they don’t get better.
This was my father. The son of a bitch (said with love) sawed off a cast because it itched too much.

I work in healthcare. My best patient is the guy who punched the rudest doctor in the face. If that rude doctor were in this thread, I bet he’d pick that guy.
