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

Working in med/surg for the past five years, I can think of quite a few memorable moments but there is one incident that really sticks with me: it was almost the end of my shift (I work nights 7p-7a) and one of my patients asked me to get her a cup of coffee. On my way to the pantry, an alarm sounded- one of my other patients was crashing! We coded her and she ended up being rushed to ICU (she made it!) When I got back to my floor, I remembered my other patient's coffee request and brought it in to her:

patient "what's this"
me "it's the coffee you asked for"
patient "I wanted it 45 minutes ago, I don't want it now."
me "I'm sorry, we had an emergency and I wasn't able to come back right away."
patient "you mean in this entire hospital NOBODY has the time to get an expletive cup of coffee for me when I want one!?"
me (starting to get a little annoyed) "Did you hear the alarm sound earlier? One of my other patients was dying. I'm sorry you had to wait, but that takes priority over a cup of coffee."
patient "if they had to look at your ugly lazy mug all night then they would be better off dead! I needed my coffee THEN you expletive. How dare you make me go without my caffeine, expletive. People like you shouldn't be nurses."

At this point I just turned and walked out of her room because I didn't trust myself not to say something I shouldn't

patient "Yeah, that's it. Go away. Just waddle your fat butt out of my room when I'm talking to you!"

As I was walking away, miss rude patient proceeded to throw the full cup coffee at me, getting it all over the back of my scrub top. Sheesh. Talk about a sense of entitlement. I was a bad nurse because I didn't get her coffee on time. The worst part was, she was an alert and oriented x3 40-ish year old with no psych history.

Well, I work psych, so I've had a LOT of stuff said to me LOL...2 things stand out, however.

When I worked inpatient, I had a guy on the unit that was major CREEPY...he remains to this day the only person I've ever been really afraid of. He would stare at me over the counter and grin, and laugh in a bizarre manner...all normal for psychotic patients, but one day I called everybody up to the counter for 2100 med pass, and I said to him 'How are you, X?' He replied 'I need a knife...it's a fine time for you to die, isn't it?' and walked away...creeped me OUT. He ended up attacking one of my techs that night.

More recently, in my current job working outpatient, I was walking down the street to a nearby diner when I noticed one of my patients, who sees me weekly for medication administration, standing on the corner. He hadn't been doing well in recent weeks due to some paranoia about being 'poisoned' by the Mafia (his meds were changed from brand to generic so he was convinced he was a target), and we watch him carefully due to his history of violent assault and sex offenses...he was arguing with some non-existant person, when he spied me suddenly and yelled 'YOU! YOU are the reason I can't take my meds! Your dad is a spy and he's WATCHING ME!' I attempted to elude him by stating that I was on my lunch break and that I would like to speak with him after lunch...not a chance. He followed me all the way down the street, about 6 inches from my shoulder, literally screaming for the entire block to hear about my dad the Mafia boss and how we'd put spiders in his veins...he ended with 'You will PAY FOR THIS, YOU *****!' and stormed off. He came in 2 hours later as if nothing happened.

Ok this patient said many gems to me but this one sticks out. And it really isn't that bad but it irritated me.

"Are you pregnant or just fat?"

Ok not that bad huh? The kicker is I weigh 100lbs and she went at least 350lbs. Boy do I love my job!

i had this patient that i totally swear was the devil's mother. she was sooo evil.

one day i was bent over the bed of her roommate doing a treatment. all the sudden, i heard her ask her sister, "where do you think she even finds clothes big enough to cover that big asz?"
