Looking for medical, environmental questionsBy Robin Abrahams
08:54 AM
We've got a couple of special issues of the magazine coming up, and I'm hoping to get questions on the following topics-- Medical. Wondering how to politely request the good phlebotomist at your doctor's office, instead of getting stuck with (and by) Jabb-ya the Hutt? How to deal with a chatty hygienist (okay, we've already had that one, but that's the kind of thing we're looking for)? How and when to offer assistance to the disabled person in your office? The thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to give rise to a thousand-and-one etiquette dilemmas. Send yours in to missconduct@globe.com today! You can send your questions to missconduct@globe.com. Thanks, everyone, for helping me with these special requests! |
