Evil People

Published

I think from the get-go patients and their families need to be informed of what is appropriate behavior towards staff. If a family member becomes abusive, they should be removed by security.

I also think there needs to be mass education that the purpose of a nurse is not to be a doormat or someone to abuse.

the evil people are everywhere.............just last night, in a 2 bed room with a curtain drawn between the beds...........

The psychotic women on one side was loudly saying "LALALALALALA" you know, like kids do when they put their fingers in their ears? She was doing this as I was trying to talk to my pneumonia pt. on the other side of the curtain. THEN, she asks me "what's her problem? what's she here for? Is she psych, too?" I said, I cannot tell you anything, it is against the privacy laws.

Her response?................................................................................................................................................................................................................................."Oh. Well you're not a lawyer, you are just a low life nurse!"

I refused to say anything back to her, and went on about my business with the other patient.

good lord.
