Maw had spoken to Mary, Christie and Michelle about Dr. J. D. Wolfe, the professional allergists. They said he has a `Type A personality`:
- Type A individuals can be described as impatient, time-conscious, concerned about their status, highly competitive, ambitious, business-like, aggressive, having difficulty relaxing; …
- They are often high-achieving workaholics who multi-task, drive themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about delays.
- Type A individuals are often described as “stress junkies.”
They said that they are not unionized and therefore would risk their jobs if they so much as to complain about his impatient behavior. The doctor has been told about the many complaints from his former patients, who are leaving his care in droves. It’s like the AARP deal, which many senior citizens are dumping due to higher costs.
According to Maw in her conversation with the nurse practitioner that afternoon, Maw told the nurse that any patient who is already sick should NOT be put under undo stress by nasty doctors like him.
She went one to mention her dedication as a registered nurse (in the State of California and the State of Viriginia) for 33 years she would reprimand the doctors who are ASSHOLES.
Bottomline: People do NOT need greedy, Type A doctors. Perhaps, Obama and pals should include something in their health care insurance reform bill and have the board should review the mental states of doctors who (as mentioned in my earlier blog entries) are NOT caring as they should be towards their patients, say, annually. Doctors can snap too, you know!
Sick people need nurses who are VERY patient and VERY understanding. Without nurses, doctors are nothing. That’s how the doctors are trained by the experiences of the nurses.
