A couple years ago, went to see a mom, as requested. There was a weird vibe in the room; the dad glared at me angrily and wouldn't speak to me, even as I tried to draw him in to the discussion. The mother was polite but rather curt. She did not seem interested in anything I had to say. I wound things up quickly and got the hell out of that room! My average time spent is 45 minutes to an hour; I was in there less than 20 minutes.<br /><br />Months later, my boss calls me to her office. Uh oh. There has been a complaint from a patient. I looked at the record and remembered this couple immediately. Asked what the complaint was about.<br /><br />Are you ready? She complained that "all the nurse was interested in was groping my breast". Umm...I teach breastfeeding. The consultation was a request from the mother. Fortunately, this couple had made a name for themselves in that they griped about everyone they met at our hospital, from the triage staff to the docs. <br /><br />Entitlement? When I was a kid, we just called it being "snotty".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-79366976288588973882018-09-12T05:24:20.012+03:002018-09-12T05:24:20.012+03:00I worked on a surgical unit many years ago.

It’s ok, it’s safe, I’ve penned him’... I quickly gathered a few brief details of the ‘argument’...<br /><br />End result:<br />75 year old farmer, pelvic fractures involving acetabulum (still don’t know how he penned the bull), class 2 shock, stabilised, admitted to rural hospital, operated on by (very) General Surgeon and was back at work a few months later. <br /><br />He still apologised for disturbing my sleep when I saw him later. <br /><br />Scots Farmers can be crazy Ivans but overall Teras are more common.

That bitch wanted to run her mouth and call me a whore and a bitch, those names to me are kiddie names, let's call me as it is.. I stood up and grabbed a metal activator bar and asked her nicely to call me a cunt (American style not the damn uk meaning) because I am a grown ass woman not a 16 year old fighting over a boyfriend. She shut her mouth, I told her you haven't seen evil til I say she was drunk again trying to pick up her car and i refuse to release it.. <br /><br />Self entitled pricks that you can bank they have drove drunk many times and thought they were above the law because they were never caught, til they kill someone..

Not in the long run - by not letting her feel the true resonance of her actions and words upon others - and not in the short run - by allowing her to abuse nurses and other personel alike. <br /><br />I am a teacher and I often find myself correcting stuff with teenagers that their parents simply were too lazy to do. <br /><br />In one word: Letting them feel that their actions and words always have CONSEQUENCES! Be it positive or negative. It's their choice.<br /><br />It's hard work and a pain in the ass. But in the end, they are so glad that someone cares. No icy indifference like at home. They fit in more. And that in itself is a rewarding feeling. They feel someone cares. <br /><br />In short: If you need to put someone like Tera back to the ground, if you need to stop that self-centered whiny behavior, hire a teacher! <br /><br />S/He'll deliver the speech of Tera's life. S/He'll make a list of allowed behaviors, and not allowed behaviors, that will be ignored or kicked out. It's as simple as that.

I was hospitalized for a collapsed lung, and not only was I in great discomfort from the chest tube going out my back, the general pain made it nearly impossible to sleep for longer than ten-fifteen minutes at a time. I will confess to being more than a little short with the nurse I asked to give me a painkiller so I could try and sleep. I have since had it explained to me that "I'll be right back with that" equates to 10-60 minutes, and not actually "right back."Seamus MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639978477918100914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-62189203921434589412018-09-06T17:54:34.847+03:002018-09-06T17:54:34.847+03:00those had to have been some interesting quotes.

He certainly had his challenges but he dealt with them with incredible grace.<br /><br />One of his room mates (he was there 6 weeks, he had loads) sticks in my mind. He had stolen a lawnmower and broken his leg trying to get away when the owner pursued him. He was rude, abusive, foul-mouthed, had horrible takeaways brought in by his rude, abusive foul mouthed teenage girlfriend (he was in his 30s); was set up in a special wheelchair so he could go outside and smoke, and was generally obnoxious. He was convinced he had outwitted the 'pigs' ie police who were there to interview him.<br /><br />There were also some lovely people through-including the tradie giving quotes while high as a kite on pain relief after his motorbike accident.<br /><br />Character comes through in hard times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-87676602870774733362018-09-05T20:05:24.239+03:002018-09-05T20:05:24.239+03:00It takes a lot of discipline to hold your tongue i...It takes a lot of discipline to hold your tongue in the midst of an ungrateful attitude.
