Ungrateful people
So I chose to work in the government sector because (as cliche as it sounds) I genuinely wanted to help the underpriviledged! Little did I know that underpriviledged = ungrateful! The people with no money are far more pushy and rude than those with the top medical aid who expect only the best! I was thoroughly disillusioned when I came into this... The current cylce: you are the happy therapist - grumpy moaning complaining patient - therapist gets frustrated - patient gets more rude and often lays a compliant - everyone gets thoroughly grumpy - the problem still remains - no more happy therapist! Any suggestions as to how I can break this ridiculous cycle?

Shoot the patients. Then they can't complain anymore. Or be rude.

Maybe that's why most people who work in the government sector are rude to clients / patients ;-) My solution is usually to suck it up and then vent about it on my blog!
