It drives me completely and utter insane when parents decide that Grandpa should have the little devils visit our Dialysis clinic.

This one little cretin was playing in one of the Dialysis chairs, putting it up and down over and over.

As someone who can’t LEAVE the chair, this can be highly infuriating.

Her parents? Couldn’t have cared less.

When she flipped over the back and fell on her ass, I was laughing on the inside.

(Yes, she was ok.)

As you say, the universe has a way of balancing out.

And to my clinic’s credit, they were forbidden from returning.

I hope they still love it when the little darlings move back in with them because they can’t hack life.

I think it’s called the Diva syndrome in women, or is it the prima donna syndrome? I get those two mixed up.

Funny! I get these guys as baby daddys for my little 15 year olds in L & D. Ugh! They seem to think that no rules we have on the unit apply to them. Then his wonderful parents come and make matters worse by being outraged that having 10 people in the labor room staring at this poor little girl’s private parts as she delivers a baby is unreasonable!

Too add another old saying to the mix— ya’ plant corn, ya’ get corn. We see this in Home Health too, “the Medicare rules regarding homebound status can’t apply to me!”

Hmmm… little King Tut? I could think of a more appropriate name.
Grr.
Oh and I might even have a therapeutic technique to help treat that syndrome!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
