Another Way to Avoid Time-Wasters

If you want to waste time when doing your work, there are various means of doing it. This is one of the big ways.

You will find that there is a percentage of the population who are hypochondriacs, and love to talk -- at length -- about illnesses and meds. You must gently inform them that you cannot talk about this, that you must get their exam done, and be on to your next appointment. If they ask you for medical advice (hypos love medical advice) remind them that it is unethical for you to advise them medically. Which it is.


Again, don't be unkind. But it's not your job to give them medical advice. And you don't know enough about them to provide it. But given the chance, these folks will take huge amounts of time. Let them waste it on someone else.
