1. Nursing makes me hate fat people

   Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

   Eternally unsatisfied patients, families...don't get me started ha ha. I have sympathy for patients to a greater or lesser degree, but families who threaten, abuse and attempt to bully staff, possibly my biggest obstacle in providing the best care th...

3. Nursing makes me hate fat people

   Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

   I certainly wouldn't last in this job if I hated any group of patients, for a start. As with a lot of threads on the site, this one (although it could have been worded better), represents a genuine, relevant increasing concern for nurses, so discussi...

   I didn't start the post, just commenting on it, like you are.

5. Nursing makes me hate fat people

   Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

   For the last time; I'm referring exclusively to people who are morbidly obese and not simply 'overweight' people. You've labelled me as some sort of shallow,biased ,hating, judgemental, fat-hater and completely taken out of context what I've said to ...

6. Nursing makes me hate fat people

   Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

   All I see in your response is 150lbs, but that's ok. Obviously you've had more experience on the matter. The fact that I'm working with is that most patients that I've had experience in (mostly general surgical) did not have as interesting combinatio...

7. Nursing makes me hate fat people

   Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

   I said over 150kg, not 150lbs (I'm 240!), bit of a difference, but you are right, certainly more to it then people think of.

8. Nursing makes me hate fat people

   Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

   You have made many good points and I agree with most of what you've said. AS IVE POSTED EARLIER-there is a big difference between overweight, as a lot of people are, particularly what you have pointed out adequately, and morbidly obese to a point whe...

9. Nursing makes me hate fat people

   Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

   So you're comparing for example cancer or elderly patients, situations that are out of the patients control, with obesity, a situation where the patient can, or at least could have, done something? Big difference.

10. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

    Something else to complain about: every BP cuff being too small! The fact is most obese people are so because they eat too much. We can argue about medical conditions, slow metabolisms and whatever anyone likes, its not like these conditions didn't e...

13. if you could do it over again....

    Dragan replied to abiggie's topic in General Nursing

    Do it. The way I thought of it is 'if there is absolutely nothing else I achieve in life, at least I'm helping people'. If you're the main breadwinner then the money isn't ideal until you become a bit more experienced, if there are two of you doing i...

14. NMC delay and put on queue this 2013. waiting for decision letter

    Dragan replied to furble's topic in Registration

    If only the NMC kept people updated, there would be much less stress and confusion. Its the poor communication which is more frustrating then the delays; if they could say 'you'll get such and such document in 3 months', whatever, rather then pulling...

15. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    Dragan replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric

    Pass the buck to the duty nurse manager/after hours manager, this is the best option. I've seen good staff ask too many questions then the conflict continues when they see each other on the ward. Whatever they say, 'I hate my life and my job so I'm n...
