So, my dad trying to be civil, called management, and they told him, just offer homeless dude some soap... My dad tried that... Homeless dude exclaimed, "I don't stank!!!"--then my dad had to proceed to curse homeless dude out...

Old woman, don't know what she had in her purse, but the minute she opened it, all the cockroaches ran out into my dad's office...

Crack addict... (need I say more?) :D

OMG a dental office!!!! I cant imagine the kinds of whiffs your dad has endured!!!

We have a family that comes in. It's the mother, her son who is 30 (who recently tried to get us to write him a script for a Tempur-Pedic mattress he saw on TV so Medicaid would pay for it), his wife, and their kids who all live together. They WREAK of pot and cigarette smoke each time they come in and yet expect us to write them scripts for narcotics. Each time we tell them no yet they still come in trying. I dont feel sad for them, but I do for their small children.

They do that to my dad all the time on the C-IV scripts... He started reporting them to the "insurance" that pay for them... Only thing is they stop seeking care at your facility... But, you also get a DSHS taking those kids away from the family.

The sad part is you get some people who need these narcotics--Sickle Cell Anemia patients. After reviewing the scientific pathology and etiology of this disease, my thoughts are they could really benefit from some mindfulness training. The insurances are already making fibromyalgia patients take these mindfulness training...

The other issue is "intention to treat"... Everybody knows why they come in day in and day out. So, how does one treat this kind of patient without education? I think they call them patient adherence...

Hey AKA_Monet, I was wondering what "mindfulness training" is? I have a close family member with fibromyalgia so I'm curious.
