I got off the phone a few moments ago with a woman I'll call "Beverly" because that is her name. Beverly works at a doctor's office that is home to a patient who is coming to see one of the doctors I represent here at The Hospital. I called Beverly to ask her to issue a referral for the patient for her visit here. This particular visit is to an oncologist. Because she has breast cancer. Beverly was EXTREMELY upset about this visit, and its effect on her workload.
"It's a lot of work for me. I'm just one person. I bet this woman doesn't even think about that when she makes her appointments. I just think it's really inconsiderate."
No, Bev, I suppose she doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about how her CANCER TREATMENT might be an INCONVENIENCE to the secretary at her PCP's office, YOU HEARTLESS FUCKING SHREW.
And, no, she was not kidding. At all. This woman has truly lost all perspective.
So, my question is, when was the last time you were reminded that maybe you were taking things a little too seriously? What was that reality check like?
