Patients who smell of alcohol

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

So I know we have all encountered the patient who arrives at 8:00, completely

put together, yet smells of alcohol. With this repeated occurance I was curious

how people deal with this. Do you ignore it? Say something to the patient?

etc..
