Guilt Trip

I had my first patient at my other clinic today. For a struggling newbie pediatrician, its a welcome change to have a mom knocking on my clinic doors wanting to avail of my services. But I am at a dilemma because I didn't have any clinic hours today. The mom knows that because it was clearly stated in my signboard but she still came because according to her, her son is sick and she is not going to wait for tomorrow.

I have always said that I want to enforce strict clinic hours because if I don't people will abuse me. I have met a lot of people and have been in a lot of situations that can really try your patience so believe me, I know what I am talking about. I know this is what I do and I even made an oath but it does not mean that I have to spend all my time doing it.

People around me are very adamant about this and are all putting a guilt trip on me. They don't seem to understand that I need to get a life too. Does wanting to be a normal human being make me bad?
