I am known by my patients and friends for my calm, imperturbable manner. Yes, I am equipped with the full range of human emotions, but few folks have ever seen me raise my voice or demonstrate bulging next veins. I am not suggesting this is a virtue or a character flaw, but is just the way I am wired.
Sure, I get irritated and frustrated with the absurdities of life, as we all do. For those who cannot relate here, may I suggest calling any airline carrier to discuss changing your ticket reservation. If that fails, then have a go at reaching out for tech support when your home internet goes ‘poof’!
Recently, I did become irritated when I was notified one evening about a patient’s abnormal blood test result. I was on-call for our gastroenterology group, so I would be the designated physician to notify with concerning test results. Why, then, was I miffed?
