The joys of weekend call:
One of my biggest challenges is understanding why patients consider an emergency as anything that they don’t want to wait until Monday, or even daylight. They want lab reports. They want advice on whether to get a flu shot. They want to know what that green cough medicine was their doctor recommended 3 years ago. They want their medicines”” that they only seem to know by color””refilled. And, of course, they are not satisfied with a few pills to get them through the weekend. They’re not going to pay a “full” copay for less than a “full” prescription.
