maybe it's the time of year and i am burned out, but please help me out here .
how you do treat the students when they come in with complaints. i am kind, and concerned but do not "gush" all over them with hugs and kisses. i assess them to the best of my professional ability. i am concerned and compassionate but do not play into their "illness" . i see many malingerers in the course of my day and sometimes it's hard to judge their complaints. often times, staff has made me feel like i am not caring or concerned. i am. but if i tear up and play into that "woe is me" feeling, then how can i be objective to the problems. anyone with ideas, suggestions ?? thanks for your constant friendships !
