A doctor once made his disdain for me known whenever I accompanied my home care client and his mom on appointments. He totally ignored me, wouldn't look toward me, or even give a perfunctory greeting. Since he was lazy to boot (as verified by mother's reports of inability to get him to take routine actions on orders), I continued to do as much as possible from my end, but I grew to somewhat resent the extra documentation required because he would not pick up the ball when in his court. In other words, I dealt with him by doing part of his job. Unnecessary, if he would have shown more interest in his patient or what he was doing. I could easily see where this man would not have succeeded in another line of work.
