It's not always about you - a mini rant

Published

Specializes in Emergency.

So, why is it that some folks here always seem to have to interject their woes into threads. Consistently, it's about them. Talking about any aspect of pt care and there's a post (often from the same "usual suspects") about their issue(s).

I won't name names but you know who you are. Or maybe not.

Mini rant over.

Personally, if it doesn't interest me I move on. I definitely do not linger on whether or not someone else is adding their woe is me to a thread:twocents:

Maybe it's one person's way of trying to show that they understand what the poster is going through. They could be trying to show support and letting that person know that they are not alone with the issue.:aln:

Yeah, it's one thing to share an experience that relates to the OP while adding to the conversation, but there are certain posters that tend to hijack threads a lot.

Reporting the threads is always an option.... if it's inappropriate.

Or a PM to them, quietly letting them know how it came across- may find out some other reason for the personal info...

All that any of us has is our own experience- whether personal or what we gain in our careers :)
