[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 312910, member: 1233"] I completely understand how you feel. There are a lot of sweeties and honeys. Here the people at the doctor's office and the hospital ALL call you by your first name or honey or sweetie. They want YOU to call THEM Mr or Mrs or Doctor. My reg doctor is Diane. She is OK with it as she uses my name. Her assistant chewed me out on my last visit INSISTING I call her Nurse Last Name (I cannot remember it and refuse to.). She called me SUGAR as she informed me it was disrespectful not to call her nurse as she worked hard in junior college to become a clinical assistant. First I informed her that her title was NOT nurse. It was clinical assistant. I told her my name was MRS. D and she was NOT permitted to use my first name. Ever. She actually SLAMMED the door on the exam room to prove her maturity I guess. When the doctor came in she apologized that the "wind" caught the door. I asked her if that happened every time her helper got upset. She looked confused. I explained the disagreement and she called the girl in (girl is not yet 20, by the way). Girl tried to talk around the problem and focus on my disrespect. Once the facts were established she was asked to leave, we took care of my appointment, and we went on with business. My next visit was much more appropriate. In the hospital I got the same rigamarole from some of the younger nurses and from the older nurse who refused to use the gown and gloves (remember I was in for cellulitis caused by 2 bacteria including the flesh eating one!). She didn't last a full shift with me because I refused to let her touch me. I didn't know what she carried in from other patients cause if she didn't use gloves with me she didn't use them with anyone. [/QUOTE]
