At any medical office: I am a professional woman, please don't talk to me as to a child (And how are WE feeling this morning, ...insert first name....?). Not only I am not a child, but I am the person who will pay that hefty fee; that alone deserves respect, in this money culture! It is Ms ...insert last name... to YOU! Please don't call me by my first name (or worse yet, make a diminutive out of it), do not call me honey, hon, or any endearing (to you) term. This is a professional office, I will call you Ms....insert last name.... as well, and will refer to the physician as Ms ....insert last name.... also.
I have said the above pretty much verbatim to many a nurse!
