Another pet peeve....ER nurses who treat us like idiots

Not that I'm mister know-it-all.....

When are people going to learn that there are jerks in every group of people? It's not just ER Nurses, Radiology Techs, Physicians, or any other single group.

There's a rule of thumb that an old dentist told me one time - the rule of thirds. (Approximately) one-third will be nice, one-third will be hateful, and one-third will be neither.

It seems to work for me. When I run across someone hateful, I just attribute it to that person being in the worst one-third. By the way, it's always the worst one-third who complain the most and are the most arrogant; that's what makes them the worst one-third.

Anyway, that's the way I see it.

And half the world's population has a below average IQ. But it seems like more than half some days, and it seems like more than 1/3 on others!

I have a feeling this is another thread that will turn into a vent about us horrible ER nurses.

Followed by ER nurses telling the rest of us how much smarter they are because they have to take whatever comes in. But once we finally agree that we're *all* idiots, what would we have to talk about?
