"Difficult" patients... we all have them. 😤 Sometimes it feels like they're testing our patience more than their blood sugar. Any tips for dealing with patients who are constantly rude, making unreasonable demands, or just refusing to follow the treatment plan? How do you stay professional and compassionate while also setting boundaries and advocating for their health?

I always try to remember that difficult behavior often stems from fear or frustration. I take a deep breath, actively listen to their concerns, and validate their feelings. Sometimes, simply feeling heard can diffuse a tense situation. I then gently redirect the conversation back to their health goals and work collaboratively to find solutions that meet their needs while staying within the bounds of safe and effective care.

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
