The Paranoid & Unsatisfied Patients
As doctors we all are always scared about a group of patients called
” The Paranoid Patients “
This particular type of patients can make the work of doctor extremely difficult and stressful.
Being a little nervous is actually good. It keeps you alert. But being paranoid & unsatisfied makes the things much more difficult for the doctor. The patient gathers some little information from various sources and starts building up possible problems in their imagination.
Will extraction tooth cause hearing loss ?
Is this restoration get infected in the future ?
Will I faint during the procedure ?
Will it pain even after giving local anesthesia ?
These type of patients are so scared that even a little movement by the doctor makes them shout, scream and kick !
Some times it gets difficult to know real pain from this type overreaction and shouting.
All this makes the work of a doctor extremely stressful.
