The T's and pdocs at my office walk everyone in and everyone out. No change. New or old clients get treated the same way. It is uncomfortable to me because I am so independent. I try to walk with her in now because I have decided it is a sign of rudeness if I do not. We talk and walk on the way out so we are in sync and I feel better about that. I live in a heavily populated area where competition is stiff and rudeness is not tolerated due to the large variety of people and increased cultural awareness. Thank goodness for a huge university hospital raising the standards in my neck of the woods.
