My one day of the week when I'm not working at the homeless clinic. Working at our mainstream clinic makes me appreciate the homeless clinic that much more...

I wish you a great day!

(66,092 posts)Lots of patients attempting to dictate their healthcare - 'You're going to do this for me, and this, and this, and this...' - stuff like that.
Lots of healthy, non-symptomatic young patients requesting full general physical exams, what what they want evaluated is pain in their feet, etc.
At the homeless clinic, I feel like I'm doing something valuable, and making a difference.
I think it will be a great day, actually. I've got a couple of surgical procedures scheduled, and I like doing those.
