You’ve been there..Ive been there. I was there today. I think that every high maintenance patient, every whiny-ass customer I have in my entire data base, came in today. As if they all saved up some complaint, I fielded one right after another…”why is this more money than last month?” “Your tech said this isnot covered..why not!”, “when I came in yesterday…THIS happened..yada yada”.
Take a number.Then HE came in.
He had a big brace on his elbow. ” Hey, I wanted to tell you what fantastic advice you gave me. I can play golf again!”. he had a big tennis elbow brace on. I had given him a flu shot and he noticed my Kinesio tape and braces I wear and he wanted to know why. I actually suffer from severe chronic tendonitis in 3 of 4 epicondyles in both elbows. It sucks, and without braces and taping, I cannot play golf, and my practice time is limited. Therefore we had a lot in common. He was having the same problem and after our chat he went out and bought a tennis elbow brace to wear…and can play golf comfortably now.
My step was a little lighter the rest of the day
