greed

i just remembered this patient who came in and demanded his medications.

i helped him and told him he had to pay for his medications and the only way to pay for it was with a credit/debit card because the cashier was closed. he was holding cash btw. i explained to him that we gave him a waiver last time already, so he must pay for it this time. he knew he had to pay for it, but he kept arguing. he tried to manipulate my feelings by saying something like, "so you're not gonna give me my medications today. i won't have anything to take and if something happens to me it's gonna be your fault." wow i did feel bad. it's weird though because he was supposed to pick up his medications a few days ago. i wanted to help him so i talked to tam, but she said there's nothing we can do. i went out and explained it to him but he was making a scene. she had to come out and gave him back his prescriptions.

the next day, he came back and did the same thing. manipulations. anger. this time he even complained that he didn't have money.
