What is the worst thing a patient has ever said to you?

I got another one! One of my patients whom happened to be well over 80 called me an " old fart" I'm 20 years old so I don't think that name fits me just yet.
Btw I work with alzheimers patients so I can go on and on!

some people are just jerks. They're fortunate to have you as a nurse. Water off a ducks back.... let it go... we have to!

I was told once by a drunk woman who came in after wrecking her car, was briefly unresponsive on scene, and wasn't appreciative of restraints, to "SUCK MY ****" as loudly as she could, causing the patients and staff on the other side of the ER to laugh loudly.

"Funeral Service Nurse" Just because I did the post mortem of his patient.
I just said: "I feel sorry for you sir, you just lost your dad"

hmmm I've been called a lot of things dumb *****, little ****, ******* ect...

I also had a tiny little 90+year old confused man tell me that my arms were magnificent....just like elephant legs haha That was my favorite

You poor dear it sounds like you had a horrible shift. I have been cussed out and called all kinds of names things like that do not usually upset me anymore. What does get under my skin is when residents or family members treat me like I do not know anything because I work in a nursing home. I have worked in hospitals in the past and I came to work at a nursing home of my own free will (what was I thinking, right) not because I did not know enough to work in the hospital.

Inpt psych: "you trailer park trash piece of ****!" Then spit in my face and bared her biggggg butttttt.

I work in a large, inner city teaching hospital. I get called "Fat White B-word-that-means-female-dog" a lot. One time, when my husband was working in cath lab and I was in CCU, he brought me a patient that called him a "fairy ******" and me a "Nazi lesbo". I suspect that guy had issues. I took care of a child molester one time who called me a "******* pervert." That one was really special.

The one that feels the WORST to me right now, though, is when I was called a "soulless, heartless witch" by the parents of a patient who have kept him alive in the ICU for nearly a year while we slice off one appendage after another due to gangrene, his skin has sloughed off due to a drug reaction, and he mouths the same thing over and over all day and all night: "Let me die. I want to die." These parents have insisted that we not medicate him for pain during visiting hours because "then he's not awake to interact with us when we visit." So these stellar parents call me soulless and heartless because, when I had to change the dressing that covers his posterior from shoulder blades to stumps (bilateral AKAs), I medicated him for pain. Because he was incontinent during visiting hours, I medicated him during visiting hours. And then I cried while I changed the damned dressing. But he was too knocked out from the meds to interact with his parents, hence the name calling.

Had a patient who said she would like to kick me and knock me down just to see my rolls of fat shake like jello when I was thrashing around on the floor. (And I was a lot thinner then.)

I sit here thinking "Man I miss working" and "I wish I could work again" and then I read this and remember and think"Medical retirement is GOOD and abrasive patients are BAD" The last 5 yrs I worked I was beginning to hate nursing and mostly families of jerky patients. Now I think getting paid to avoid working is a good thing
