Disparaging

Recently had the pleasure of treating the most self involved patient alive.
Every session would go over time and be mainly due to her talking about herself.
I dreaded treating this patient everyday because it would be so frustrating that she could happily waste my time, repeating the same story about her life.
So, upon discharge I reflected on the way I managed the patient, thinking that I may have been less than effective in my session because of my personal feelings toward the patient.

Looking back at the notes, all the sessions were appropriate and effective, however when discussing the patient there was some unprofessional banter between nursing and medical staff too which I joined in. Hindsight is 20-20, but it is not acceptable practise of professionals and it serves no purpose in being derogatory about a patient.
The next time I'm involved with the treatment of a similar patient I know I will be professional and not disparaging about the patient.
