11:00 am

rubyfoo

She is a nasty, cold b***h!

11:01 am

bichon

who was this, the oncologist?

11:03 am

rubyfoo

She is the "chef de servixe" who firedmy first oe, Françoise

11:04 am

rubyfoo

Françoise is smarter, older, and had more experience, so this one found her too threatening

11:04 am

rubyfoo

I am llucky to still have Françoise to evaluate my treatment

I thought the oncologist was your friend?

11:09 am

rubyfoo

Yes, the first one. This is the 4th (notmy decision) but she has touble playing well with others

11:09 am

rubyfoo

She keeps foring other doctors or else they quit

11:09 am

rubyfoo

firing*

11:10 am

bichon

How unfair

11:10 am

rubyfoo

I guess she's just insecure

11:12 am

MollyL

Some people think the world revolves around them

11:13 am

rubyfoo

And doesn't like to be challenged, either by patients or by colleagues

11:14 am

MollyL

Oh, a know it all too. No wonder you wanted to smack her.

11:15 am

rubyfoo

The idea of an oncologist without empathy is terrible.

11:15 am

MollyL

Really. Why would someone like that choose a caring profession?

11:16 am

rubyfoo

She was wearig a mask when I arrived (said she had a virus) but wanted to shake hands anyway. When I left, she offered her hand and I refued it

11:16 am

rubyfoo

refused* it, I'm a rude American! LOL

11:21 am

MollyL

Apparently, we are all rude Americans. According to those in other countries anyway.

11:23 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure that's how she perceived it, but my friend loved that I stood up to her

11:26 am

rubyfoo

Maybe she'll "fire" me
