"Compliments are very awkward "....us bro us

[jond]

He reminds me of an employee that works at my eye doctors office. He's autistic, and he's got that place running like clockwork. The only thing he doesn't do is the eye exams themselves. Everything else, the scheduling, setting up/maintaining machines, the online portal, ordering/receiving products, inventory, literally EVERYTHING else.. It's all Patrick. Nobody I know that goes there has had so much as a hiccup of a problem in the last 20 years. He even remembers everyone by name as well as little anecdotes about them. Like if you had a dog named Jack that broke his left leg he'll remember that next year when you have your appointment and he'll check up on it.

But the thing is you cant complement him directly, it's too much and it upsets him. Instead you complement the office, or how well your lenses fit, things like that, and he just loves it. I don't think I would go to another practice if you paid me.

This is so real 😭

[grantharriman]

Not knowing how he's supposed to respond to a compliment like that is one of the most painful and wholesome things I've ever seen.

“Compliments…. are very awkward..” so adorable 😂

The shortened version is basically the girl in the beds name is Kayley and she has eagle syndrome a condition that causes pain in the throat and face caused by a long styloid bone. Shaun (the doctor here) diagnoses this after Kayley suffered a stroke. The way to fix this condition is through surgery. The team does the surgery where a slight mishap occurs but in the end everything turns out alright.

Daytime TV watchers will never tire of shows about a quirky savant doctor who can diagnose diseases other doctors can't.

While I understand the frustration of not getting an answer, going to the ER is generally not the answer for a chronic issue and often there are tests and referrals to specialists that we cannot get from the emergency department. It is, as in the name, for emergencies. If you are not having an emergency, you will generally be discharged. This interaction made me cringe because I know some patients will think seeing this that this will be the answer to their chronic issue and wait 6-8 hours only to be told that, no, we still don't know what is going on with you, and sent home only to get a big bill later on.

“Compliments are very awkward.”
As an autistic artistic woman, I 100% feel this. I draw all the time and I get embarrassed and happy everytime someone compliments me on my art, and I struggle to figure out where to go from there beyond saying “thank you.” I didn’t understand why I was like that as a kid, but I now know that it’s a normal thing for neurodivergent people.
If there’s any fellow neurodivergent/ mentally challenged people here, many hugs and much love to y’all! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖
