difficult to reach

Warm feeling but patronising euphemism often used by care givers, but also over-reaching government or voluntary agencies to describe a target group or audience who have not engaged with the intervention concerned. Almost always the target group are characterised as passive, ‘vulnerable’, or of possessing some other negative/weak quality, but in reality may be have full capacity and instead have no interest or benefit, or even hold strong objections to the intervention concerned

Hospital manager: The medical staff are proving difficult to reach in terms of my new and novel 1 monthly, all day infection and control mandatory training programme. What do you think Brad?
Second hospital manager: yea - I think we need to doc the pay and then sack anyone who does not realise the benefit of your life saving, new and wonderful programme Hank!

Dr. Jon Reach Around

A “loving embrace,” done with the utmost care and the gentlest touch by a healthcare professional while the patient is concentrating on their alimental concerns, questions they are being asked about general health trivia while they are being entertained with bright lights and Snellen charts, or otherwise distracted by the doctor’s slight of hand. Sometimes seen as a test of a patients fortitude and potential, this act, while not intrinsically sexual, is often referred to in doctoring circles as the first foray of the lonely and overeducated in their professional mating rituals or “social networking” in and outside of their immediate circles.

I went in to see if I needed new glasses and while I was there I was given the “Dr. Jon Reach Around.” I’m not sure if my vision is any better but I’ve met my co-pay for the year. All things considered, I’m happy with my new provider.
