Christmas work excitement
Well sitting here on Christmas Eve at work. Everyone’s shown up this morning but it looks like this aft is rather more quiet and my last patient of the day has just cancelled which helps add to the easiness of the afternoon.
But something a little odd just happened.
I had a new patient earlier. A sikh woman if I’m not mistaken. She refused to see me on account of my ownage of a Y chromosome. Cue some re-arranging with a female physio at a different site in 2 weeks time.
Now this is in itself not too unusual but 2 things stick out.
1. The patients have my name on the confirmation of appointment letter. It’s a male name. Surely they’ll have some conception of my “not femaleness” from that.
2. This particular patient had a problem with her elbow. So no undressing beyond seeing her arm and maybe her neck. Ridiculous.
Still gives me a bit more quietness.
Have fun.
