How Does That Make You Feel?
This is entry #250!!
I haven’t done a “How Does That Make You Feel? Thursday” in a while. So here's one...
Said by a patient this week -
“If you don’t help me find happiness, you haven’t done your job and I shouldn’t have to pay you.
But if you don’t charge me, that will make me happy, so then you’ll have done your job and I should pay you.”
How does that make you feel?

mucho confuso!
Bill the sucker anyway!
This patient has been reading too much Catch 22!
Bill him. Tell him you are sorry to make him so unhappy, but that since he is unhappy he needs further treatment to make him happy. Schedule him for daily appointments. Bill him. Tell him you are sorry to make him so unhappy, ...
I would say, "Either pay me now, or I will send collection agencies on you and that will make you really unhappy."
Was this person recently on American Idol?
Tell him it isn't your job to help him/her find happiness, that only he/she knows what it is that would truly make him/her happy.
Then hand over the bill with a huge grin on your face because now you're happy.
I know that guy, or his ilk. How does that make me feel? It makes me wish I could pick and choose the people I get to deal with every day.
It would make me feel like this person needs a lot of work. He doesn't seem to know himself what is happyness.
I'd ask him what he thought that was first and then I'd ask him if he thinks he can obtain it.
If he says no, I'd tell him to come back when he was serious.
"Illusions of grandure" I think!?
Fake happyness if you ask me.
And I'd bill him!?
The truth can hurt sometimes, but it brings peace of mind and happyness!?
It is not your job to find him happiness...your job is to support him to find his own happiness (whatever that may be) So how do I feel...I feel glad that I would never say that to anyone and that I have a strong internal locus of control.
WOW!!! Did that sound like psychosocial class or what!!! Too many classes!
Oh mercy, that makes my head spin.
This person is playing head games with you.
I'm with butterfly girl, bill the bastard.(Of which I'm sure you already did). :)
Like you need to increase his meds...
It makes me feel like choking the shit out of that patient and slamming his/her head in the refridgerator door a few dozen times, and then billing him/her for both the time and a new refridgerator.
And then telling him/her to go find another f*****g doctor because he/she is what is wrong with this world.
Ahem.
Does that make me a bad person?
Wow! I guess I would "feel" like letting them know that they're not a little bitty baby any more.
Responsibility is such a great word.
Do you have to hose yourself off when you leave the office at the end of the day?
WELL SPO...
The patient has a point. If I could get medical advice and consultation free, I'd be happy as a lark too.
I need to take my medication. Or maybe they NEED to take my medication. Or maybe I need to take their medication.
I hope that you charged them double.
It would make me feel like opening a snow cone stand in Mexico.
hohoho
I merely felt confused as to what he was really behind this mobius strip.
It was rather academic as I told him I was on salary, and negotiations of that sort he would have to take up with the boss-man, who would never allow such crap. So I suspect boyfriend won't be back. More and more people expect medical care for free.
I have something to tell my doctor next time I see them now. :) Thanks for the words. :)
