Patient
This review is for the professionals who need a reminder and for the parents/guardians who have ever felt uncomfortable in a patient room. Today I brought my 1.5 year old daughter in for a checkup. She was extremely sick with a stomach bug and was not having it. You can tell the lady who was trying to take her vitals was getting agitated with her. She was huffing & puffing, rolling her eyes, and was being a little more aggressive than my liking. The way she was handling my daughter made me uncomfortable to the point that I told her I was going to walk out if she continued. She got extremely defensive and said "I will get someone else if you like." I said: "That would be great." No one came in after asking what happened? Is everything okay? Etc. My point here is parents- stand your ground. If your intuition is telling you something is not right, something's not right. Don't be afraid to speak out for your children. They deserve it. And for the professionals- shame on you. You came into this field to make a difference not receive a paycheck. My piece of advice... if something's broken you have to try to do everything to fix it. If it's not fixable... do all of us moms and dads a favor... and move on.
