If he weren't so disagreeable I might have gotten him the coffee. But since he likes to be rude and catered to, it doesn't seem right to reinforce his behavior. He has probably developed this attitude partly because of his handicap, and partly as part of the Doctor God complex. No reason why you have to give in to his demands.
I think he is using his handicap as a way of getting what he wants and he using whoever feels sorry for him to be his waitress. Point him to the coffeepot and quit enabling him to be a jerk! Being a jerk to his patients is also tolerated by them for the same reasons. I would tell him "that I am not a waitress and he should be more polite if he expects me to do ANYTHING to assist him"

Hi Everyone:
I have a silly question to ask....
We have a doc who is handicap and walks with crutches. I dont have a clue what happened to him. He is always rude and mean with his patients and nursing staff....anyhow yesterday I was working and I was taking care of one of his patients. He asked me if we made any coffee and I told him, we may have some old coffee. Then I got busy with my patients and when I came back to the nurses station he asked me where was his coffee??
I did not know how to respond....I did not feel comfortable with giving him coffee because he has this "thing" about taking nurses out!! He thinks all female nurses are after him...!! Then again I felt bad becuase he is a handicap and perhaps I should have helped him:(....what would you have done in my situation??
Thanks
