yeah, true, I meant I personally wouldn't think "weirdo" if someone doesn't want to shake hands. And I think it's another one of those personal preferences that people don't need to be judged
Don't reciprocate if it makes you feel that way; don't violate yourself. Just smile and say "aw, no thanks, I don't shake hands but I'm glad to meet you." Pretty simple.
It's fine that you...
Also this:
You don't say, but I assume the owners/providers are currently doing call and have decided they don't want to because it's annoying and most of the calls they get don't require a...
We have gone back and forth here in the past about whether or not being on call is burdensome enough that it deserves pushback. To me that is not the issue.

IF another occasion arises that you feel compelled to report, I would not report any suspicions or possibility unrelated stuff like who talked to whom about when they...
Agree with the above. Likely worse before better.
Unfortunately the numbers are a separate factor that is not in your favor. This DON brought SEVEN people to this employer along with herself, so...
I would follow employer's policy of limiting to temporary disability in this case. From what you have reported about the situation that's the extent of what you can fairly/honestly gauge anyway, and...
AND remember that when the patient gets hurt and you were working outside your job descriptions and/or without the assistive devices they lied and said they had, you will be blamed.
