tech etiquette
in response to a recent posting about texting according to RBM and my daily dealings with patients, I need to blog it out (and apprently educate a few NYers).- It is not OK to make a call on your cell phone while in the doctor's office and the doctor is trying to examine you.
- It is not OK to accept calls while the doctor is fitting you with contact lenses.
- It is not OK to listen to your ipod while the doctor is taking your medical history.
- It is not OK to text while the doctor is instilling eye drops
After all, I dont check out the latest craigslist posting while you complain about the mucopurulent discharge coming from your eyeball. Let's set aside the tech equipment for 18 minutes, shall we?

such neglected words in the english language...mucopurulent discharge. i don't think there are many other words that get the point across quite like they do. got a great laugh from this one...although, i wish i were googling instead of dealing with a 9 year old having a vasovagal in my office today...
hale, i'm glad you visited! i've had such a shit day, but at least no faintings in office
