This thread was inspired by Ben's thread here. How many patients do you have? Not enough, too many? What's the worst patient experience you've ever had? Are you qualified to be a doctor?
The closest thing I have to 'patients' per se is clients. I make some money on the side as an independent tutor, and I have several clients that come to me for repeat business. It's rewarding - and it gets me some cash on the side - but sometimes the job can be tiring, largely because (1) it can eat up a lot of time, and (2) sometimes I feel like I'm teaching on things that the person should know already. It was worse when I had my full-time job as well, as the hours of my life basically died at that point, but now it's at least at a tranquil level.
I suppose my 'patients' are people who would come to me for their issues, whether it be about relationships, family, or whatever. I guess a lot of people trust me with that sort of stuff. That aside, I love helping people. I don't mind it in the slightest, and I'd be happy to assist someone in whatever they're going through. I just really hate when someone refuses advice, and then proceeds to complain about their issues. You're given a solution... so why are you rejecting it? I'm probably not at all qualified to be a doctor.
I'm perfectly qualified to be a doctor, look at all these patients I have :may::brendan::franky::ryan::ben::katie::wooper:
I'm not qualified to be a doctor, but I am qualified to wear scrubs and to get a discount at the hospital cafeteria. Does that count? Anyway, I have too much patience and too many patients (English language, you so silly. Strange how much difference "much" and "many" makes in that sentence). I work as an assistant for a practice of doctors and to varying degrees I interact with at least a few dozen patients per day, sometimes in triple digits. So yeah, I have too many patients. (Okay, they aren't my patients, but it would be gramatically correct if I referred to them as our patients if I was speaking to one of my doctor-bosses, so I'm going to run with it.)
i used to have clients at one of my old jobs but even given that i wouldn't trust myself as a doctor.
