I’ve been asked by more patients than I can remember that they want a different doctor. I always try to deescalate those situations and find ways to meet or understand expectations, but some encounters just won’t be successful if success is the doctor and patient end on the same page of thought with accurate understanding of each other.

My favorite Simon and Garfunkel song 🤔 I’m too indecisive to pick a favorite and that catalog of songs is too good, and it gets even more challenging when you add in Paul Simon on his own. Some notable favorites off the top of my head: The Sound of Silence. Homeward Bound, The Boxer, I Am A Rock.

Sadly, yes, we all get fired. Happens even more in the ER, where there is so little time to build rapport.

Those are great S&G pics. Late In The Evening is my favorite Paul Simon solo. Was introduced to it through the cover version by String Cheese Incident, actually!

Late In The Evening is great. If we’re going into Paul Simon’s solo catalog I have to mention Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard … it ranks high for me because I love picking up a guitar and playing and singing this one.
