Demanding a Stretcher

Published

Just curious, but how exactly can one successfully "demand" a stretcher if 3 nurses refuse and you are totally alone?????

I have a close friend from a wealthy family who is a lawyer and her "demands" went unanswered, too. ER nurses have tremendous power over who gets medical care and who doesn't. Someday they will get old and sick.

Asthma in teens is generally due to preventable lifestyle factors; it was quite rare prior prior to the 1980s.:D

Doglover, what exactly do you hope to gain by coming on this board?

I think it's safe to assume you are not a nurse, nursing student, or in the healthcare field...

From doglover's posts so far, it's easy to see that doglover is a troll. Probably sour grapes from flunking out of nursing school.:D

Your comment about asthma makes no sense. So are you sayinng an asthmatic in resp distress should not be treated because "lifestyle" might have had something to do with it? Let me guess the nurse should run and get you a stretcher and leave the asthmatic alone with a compromised airway...:uhoh3:

OMG, it's so obvious this person is a troll. It is just amusing now. :D

Let's not give in to this, no matter how tempting.

This actually brought a smile to my face. I have an MBA but considered nursing school as a safety net in case I couldn't manage the difficult courses in business school. It doesn't take much brains to get thru nursing school, so it's a nice back-up if someone can't make it in a demanding profession.:D
