Been meaning to put this on the board for awhile. I was just wondering what reaction providers have when they receive release forms for a transfer to a local office.
I always think it would be nice if the parent or patient would tell you why they left for some closure and constructive criticism, but I know that is not realistic. I also don't think that patients understand that providers have feelings too and even have bad days.
No matter how much I try to rationalize it, I always feel hurt and angry after.
Any thoughts or advice on dealing with this. They don't teach this in medical school.
