Maybe it is just me, would like to hear an opinion or two, and I would like to know the reasoning behind it. Perhaps it is just our local hospital.
The staff in the Emergency Room, rarely to never make eye contact. They are polite, businesslike, but when you pass one in the hallway, or when they enter your room, NO eye contact.
Now, when you get up on the wards, polite, cordial, and, eye contact. When a nurse or an aide walks by a room, they look in and perhaps smile. They try very hard to be friendly. Most, everywhere but Emergency, when passing them in the hall, will smile and say hello, and make eye contact.
Anyone noticed that, or is it just me? Would love to hear your comments. COMMENT
