The Problem Patient.

I have noticed that every night, there is one patient who turns out to be a problem patient for the lab. To be fair, the patient has done absolutely nothing wrong; it is the staff working with the patient who generate all of the problems. Nevertheless, it seems that, while everybody else in the hospital gets their tests run with few-to-no hitches, this one special patient has a particularly distracted nurse, or a battery of highly unusual tests, or something that generates recurring issues with getting him/her the healthcare he/she deserves. This wouldn't be so bad, except that all of the problems associated with the problem patient are funneled through a single individual in the lab, who must also deal with everyone else's problems, too. It is such a good thing I wasn't that person tonight.

Come to think of it, I haven't been that person in a while... should I be getting nervous?
