Jeesh. Might want to try reading a bit more of this blog before coming down so hard, Helen.<br /><br />Actually, I was taught to pay attention to such things with patients (e.g., self-made tatoo spelling LOVE on the knuckles of one hand and HATE on the knuckles of the other). How people present themselves in and to the world can sometimes help inform diagnoses, particularly those that go beyond numbers on tests of physiological functioning. Mental health is a big chunk of overall health.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15944817.post-33543011324481437282009-06-16T20:09:36.181-07:002009-06-16T20:09:36.181-07:00I went to my annual gyn appt today but couldn'...I went to my annual gyn appt today but couldn't find a skanky enough t-shirt to wear so had to wear half-way decent clothes.

The meth addiction was actually my first clue.<br />And to Helen, I've passed out clothing at charities serving impoverished communities and I don't rembember them handing out offensive and/or inappropriate freebies. I feel safe in assuming that these particular individuals chose those tees and do not wear them because their poverty has forced them to. I respect your opinion, but I assure you that bad taste has nothing to do with income bracket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15944817.post-30038431097810068112009-06-04T15:37:00.099-07:002009-06-04T15:37:00.099-07:00So... this reminds me of the day that a pregnant t...So... this reminds me of the day that a pregnant teenager walked into the School Based Health Center with a tshirt that said, "Nice girls don't suck, they swallow".

Fashion is now part of the patient assessment. <br /><br /> New FNP, I know your blog is for you to vent, but maybe you should think about why your patients at the research clinic wear what they do. <br />They are participating in a methamphetamine addiction research study. Maybe I'm wrong but this implies 1) they need the money and 2) they are/were meth addicts and still need money. Either way, they most likely don't have a lot of money for clothing and can't be that picky about where they shop or what they can choose to buy and wear. <br /><br />I really hope you show as much compassion to your patients in your interaction with them as you do contempt in your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15944817.post-414270342968693142009-05-30T20:08:56.607-07:002009-05-30T20:08:56.607-07:00Those kind of folks lack self-awareness.
