Velociraptor Mar 2017 9:44am, 3 Mar 2017 35,660 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor Earnest people with health-related job titles and a great deal less education and experience than we have coming in and making primary-school-level suggestions about things we might like to try to do to manage our challenging patients. They don't seem to realise that the suggestions they make are insultingly elementary and it would be SUCH bad manners if we were to do anything other than smile and say, "Yes, that's a very good idea, and this is what happened when we tried that a million years ago."

I'm going to suggest that at the care planning meetings.]
