  This guy is right about one thing: the doc doesn’t give a fuck about this idiot

    They’ve got 18 other people to see that day, and most of them probably want help. Might as well go help them.

    Or they know there’s no point trying to rationalize someone out of an opinion they didn’t reason themselves into. Oh, and it’s worthless to prescribe medication for someone who doesn’t want to take it.

    Of course they do, they care enough to present what they think will be a successful option. Just cuz they don’t want to get in a fight doesn’t mean they don’t care at all.

    I disagree, I think the dog did care but I knew that wasn’t a battle they were going to win so they just conceded and moved on to the next patient.

    There’s a saying that you can lead the horse to water but you can’t make them drink and that summarizes the scenario quite well,

    if you mentioning a topic spurs the person into a 5 or 10 minute rant about the topic you’re not going to come out on top they already have too firm of an opinion. Just save your energy and help the next guy.

    That’s how we were trained in selling merchandise as well, you can give your recommendations but if you say your recommendation and the customer has a firm opinion otherwise, backtrack a little bit and start focusing on the good things that the customers looking for in the product. The only thing pushing the topic further is going to do is going to aggravate them and make them lose faith in your ability to know your merchandise.

  Blue is a huge asshole, but I agree that this is likely what actually happened.
