Oh good……they are now giving us the “how to have the vaccine” speech to patients. And no, not the “don’t get the vaccine” speech.

This little blurb was one of my favorites:
“Clinicians who try to have "the talk" may feel frustrated because of the extra time it takes during a visit to discuss concerns of caregivers that may be grounded in conspiracy or misinformation. Offering fact-based information is often met with further resistance and can increase the tension in small exam rooms.”
The extra time it takes??? Are they being serious? You spend the time that a patient needs. Period. And why are people armed with knowledge about vaccines and reasons to not get them “grounded in conspiracy and misinformation”??
Healthcare wonders where they lost the general public. This trash right here is what pushed it over the edge.
My first appt. with my new GP. Dr: Do you want this, that, and another vax? Me: No. No. And No. Dr: Well, what about this other vax over here? Me: No. I've already had my lifetime limit of aluminum. Dr: Extremely dirty look. Me: Big grin.
The arrogance and condescension is infuriating. Doctors have lost the plot.
