People are not only sick when they come in but they are usually quite angry from having waited at their doctors office for so long. This makes their fuse short and they are ready to blow.
Not being able to reach the doctor either can cause someone to flip out too.
We seem to take a lot of the brunt.
I've seen people come in with a syringe loaded with blood, threatening to jab one of us if we don't fill his narcotic prescription. We've had a lady come in with a plastic shopping bag filled with urine ready to dump it on us, but instead just throws it across the counter at us and lets it spill everywhere.
It's rather abusive sometimes, not to forget the verbal abuse we take (with a smile).
So I'm thinking... why don't we have glass to protect us like they do at the clinics?
It would stop the germ transfer to a bit.
Just a thought? What's your thoughts?
