Glen Beck's hospital experience

StacieRN, you certainly put him in his place! With all that knowledge though, offering assistance if pt. is struggling or comforting anxiety perhaps could have squashed this incident all together! Caring profession?..... Anyway, what do I know, I'm an unemployed RN.

My goodness.........so sorry to hear about this. It, unfortunately is the tirade of many, "pt UNeducated", nonsensical complaints. We are trained and experienced and we just assume our pts are already there, as well.........therefore they are speaking "out of school", as the saying would have it. I do believe that there are a lot of UNCARING nurses in our profession, as I have witnessed it time and time again and, this outrages even me..........most especially as a pt. I am the type of person that gets upset anytime I am a consumer of anything and get less than a kind and personable person that assists me. In our profession we HAVE to have kind and CARING people to do the job. We are dealing with people's lives and the least we can do is to have a little compassion for them.

On that note I will close by saying thanks to ALL of the wonderfully CARING nurses I have worked with and to the ones who have taken care of me!

Well, I'm glad that I am not the only one who has a hard time deciphering this poorly written tirade.
Glenn Beck is one of those annoying talking heads that go around spouting off about how we are a nation of whiners and want to be coddled with, you know, far out "extravagances" such as universal health care.

What a drama queen. I love the fact that he thinks he should have a room all ready and waiting because his doctor "called ahead".
And cripes, who prescribes Fentanyl patches for post operative pain?

It's apparent he was in for some type of minor surgery, but he also has a very low tolerance for pain. I am a Hospice RN and we don't give half of the meds he received to dying patients. Obviously his doctors gave him more than he needed for his pain control. I can't believe he and his wife were treated the way he reports.
