It may interest you to know I use the exact same technique. Several years ago, my physician at-the-time let his entire staff know they had 90 days to quit smoking. At the end of that time, they’d be fired if they hadn’t quit. All but one woman smoked. I had an appointment, was told about this by the secretary, and unloaded on him when he came into the room(after the exam, of course,which took about five minutes). I yelled at him, “Who made you God, you miserable elitist SOB? “ And informed him in no uncertain terms that he’d never see me again. His entire staff quit, including the one who didn’t smoke, and now a friend who still goes to him tells me he’s going to stop seeing his patients who smoke-unless they quit. The doctor is an ex-smoker, by the way. Nothing worse. Nothing.
Maybe, but they tell me ex-wives can be hell-raisers. : )
Wow, that Doc really does have the “god complex.”
