It was the fact that someone had done this for the first time in my life. I'm older and wiser and such things don't phase me at all now. I don't blame patients should they treat me poorly (they don't though), I rather think it comes with the territory. Patients don't have much idea about matters that doctors need to bear in mind. One gets older and matures and bears in mind that patients don't care how much one knows until they know that one cares. Being kind to patients and showing that one cares about what they are saying almost eliminates problems - for myself at least.
