Pets

It's been my impression over my 45 years as an NP that if someone has a negative initial encounter with an NP, they make a blanket judgement that we all suck, and they never ever want to see another one - no second chances for NPs.

I find this interesting, because I don't see it happening in other professions. We've all seen a doctor or dentist we didn't like, gotten a bad haircut, had a crappy teacher, had a less-than-great meal at a restaurant, etc. As far as I know, there is no similar broad brush condemnation of other professionals after a single bad experience.
