I see we have a lot of “experts” here on both sides of the issue - funny how all the “experts” can make such definitive statements with only the data avail;able in the story.....seems like both the doc and the patient have issues....perhaps they have met before....
You don’t have to be a musician to know a musician sucks.
I think the real issue here is not how sick the patient is. it was the bedside manner and the lecturing in a rude way.
The patient may not have been deathly ill, but he was probably scared as to what was wrong with him.
If he was not that sick, you hurry him out and keep your yapper shut.
