PurpleCar: Wacko Wednesdays: Narcissism

  • Rick Wolff · 1 year ago
    My wife works as an LPN in the neurology department of a central Westchester medical center. She gets patients from all around, from a variety of socio-economic levels. Your narcissist describes the folks from Chappaqua (yes, Clinton Country). Appointments mean nearly nothing to these (usually) bored housewives. And if their controlled substance won't get them through a three-day weekend, an exception in state law must be made for them and my wife must call in the prescription. With their position goes an assumption of some kind of personal power; if they make enough noise, they think they'll be served -- even though nothing in their experience with the center has borne that out. This is what my wife tells me about when I ask, "So, how was your day?"
