Medical Staff Share Advice of What Patients Should Really Avoid Doing

“I kindly request not to be approached for medical advice outside the office, much like you wouldn’t want work intrusions during personal time at the grocery store. It’s a matter of mutual respect for our off-duty hours.

Providing medical advice is a professional service I offer, stemming from extensive training. But during rare moments of quiet while shopping for dinner, I prefer not to be reminded of work. Such times are my brief respite from a demanding job, so please let me be.”
