9. Hope Your Day Is Good… Can You Take a Look at This Rash?
This is a classic scenario: you run into your doctor at the grocery store or perhaps in a restaurant and can’t resist the temptation of seeking some professional help right there. Well, I’m here to tell you that’s not OK at all.
Doctors are humans like all of us, and they are entitled to have a personal life, which includes doing grocery shopping and going out in public on occasion. Just like other people, doctors don’t want to work when they are off duty, so try to resist the temptation of asking for a quick consult.
10. Can You Just Do This as a Tiny Favor?
Don’t ask your doctor for things you know will cross the line. This includes providing a letter with untruthful content to your employer or taking a quick look at a friend who’s uninsured.
According to experts, patients need to realize that physicians aren’t above the laws of insurance as well as the laws of the land. Therefore, make sure you don’t ask your doctor for special treatment.
