Patient or patience?

It has been long since i haven't write anything. The story that I want to share happened about 2 weeks ago. What I hate most is an arrogant patient with bad attitude. This happened 2 weeks ago when I'm doing my part time job.

The a couple who come for medical advice. The husband is a worker of a medical center in KL and the my pert time clinic happened to be one of the panel clinic. He come for food poisoning and his condition wasn't to bad and actually improving ( most of food poisoning is self-remitting). After explain the diagnosis and treatment to this couple, they seems to satisfied without asking much question.

Now, when it come to the exciting part, MC. I personally don't think this patient need MC because he already on leave on that weekend and the next working day is Monday. The symptoms is improving and Ive already prescribed his medication. The husband seems to be okay with that but his wife start to show arrogant and unsatisfactory gesture. She start to raise her voice. She insisted the MC to be given to his husband because she want it as a "standby" if her husband getting worse on the next day.

The way she talked really pissed me off. I've already explained everything to them earlier and his condition is getting better. His husband is a staff in a medical center in KL, what he can do is just walk to staff clinic on the next day if he did not getting better for better treatment of course.

The whole scenario really testing my patient and ruined my mood that evening. The husband seems to be okay and just relaxed but his wife really needs behavioral therapy for her attitude. Pretty face alone with bad attitude is just such a waste....
