Just had to kick an abusive patient out of the clinic.

3. What clinic?

Care to share the details?

But without knowing anything, good for you for not tolerating an abusive patient.

6. The clinic where I work as a Physician Assistant.

It's a clinic for our homeless patients. (And homelessness itself isn't the problem. The very first time I kicked an abusive patient out of the clinic, he was a mainstream patient, not homeless. Most of our patients are wonderful, and I love them very much.)

A patient I have visited with before came in today. She may have been drunk this time, but at any rate, she was her usual unpleasant self. She spoke to my assistant using some very family un-friendly words. So I threw her out. If you tolerate that kind of behavior, they'll just keep doing it.
