Because?

People are just being friendly .I use both terms on a regular basis.Just come naturally.

🥺🥺😢

I agree with my opinion,it's like diminishing them.

What u call them 'ct face ?'

Refer to them by their first name 🤣! What if there are more than one patient with the name Ailing or Bones etc. How do you isolate them?

American coldness goes abroad

Try this up North. You wouldn't like the response.

Should not tat make them feel better and homey ?

If I need to go to hospital, I must wear a label saying “Terms of affection gratefully received.”

And yesterday the 'G' the guardian came out with this: I wonder what will follow next?

When I was in Ireland, I didn't mind it. It was the first time I consulted a doctor while abroad somewhere and I was nervous about maybe not understanding some medical jargon or something, so I loved how friendly everyone was. Huge difference to Germany and very personal.

Wtf- the Irish all speak like that

Maybe the people that came up with this idea should be referred to as, 'fuck off'

It seems more person centered to refer to someone with affection. Drop the gendered terms; 'love' can stay. (But no hon!)

who comes up with these rules? my personal favorite was a nurse who always called me 'flowerpot'. i loved it! asked her why not flower, was i only good enough for 'pot'? she told me her mom used to call people that. made her human at a time i felt vulnerable and needed that.

About time.......We've lost true professionalism!

not in a month of sundays.

Noooooo - Irish people don’t stop this, the ones in my dad’s hospital are endearing. And the patients love them :(

Gawd ...

Appendicectomy would you mind if I take your temperature?

This is the appendicitis in bed 6! This is the fractured femur in bed 2.

I firmly believe Twitter and the Guardian exist entirely to wind me up

Good luck with that.

Hun?

I do prefer when they call me Case 35674

That’s a shame. As a patient it’s nice and reassuring to be treated like a feeling human being by someone who at least acts like they care & sympathize.

I dunno, personally I quite like it when someone calls me a pet-name. Seems warmer to me than just referring to me by name. But maybe that's just me 😅

'More' person centred? I'd sooner someone talk to me in their own vernacular and not like 'bots'.

Patients should be referred to by their ID number
