Have you ever...(health)?!
Question:
Have you ever...(health)?
Hi,
I was just wondering, have you ever given your GP or doctor a gift before to say thanks for their time or way they handled something etc or is this not done and it's just expected that they care for you as it's their profession in which they get paid?

sorry had to write the word healthin the title as it was not allowing me to select a proper category to put it in or else very wrong ones like antiques or something
Answers:
As a doctor, people sometimes bring in things like box of chocolates or a note to say thanks for something. Of course its always welcome, but not at all expected as we are only doing what we are paid to do. Perhaps if the doc has gone out of their way to arrange something a thankyou note would be an idea - it is appreciated and gets the message across without having to spend money.
Interestingly, the patients who give the gifts are NEVER the ones who cause the trouble. They are usually the nice ones who bother you very rarely, and for whom you dont mind doing the extra bit. :)
