what bugs me most is not so the insults that some insensitive patients say, its the down right rude and mean ones. i'm short, fat, and hispanic...so i get to hear from winter texas that they are surprise i speak english so well. and ive been in hearing distance of a family member tellling another that im a fat idiot that didnt know anything that was after i didnt give her the answer she wanted to hear. i just turned around and said thank you. but the ones that kill me are the stupid drunk mva, positive for cocaine, pot and other drugs... *****ing at you to let them go home. i work icu and cell phones are not allowed one i had a guy get a cell from his mom that was visiting --i told him he could use it in there and he just started cussing at me that he couldnt do **** and who the hell did i think i was and so on. he pissed me off that in a stern voice i told him that the hospital was not a prison and that he could get up and leave and that i would get him to sign an ama form. after that he change his tune that wasnt what he wanted and all this using a sweet apolizing voice. i got the last laugh because he was served a warrant and he had to have two cops at bedside at all time . he attitude changed quick u wouldnt have known that he was the same guy being rude to the night nurse and threatening me with violence if he didnt get his way.

Where i work there is a female doctor named Dr. McCracken......the charge nurse at night can never get her name right, he called her Dr. McCracker right in her face Another charge nurse at night had to call a Dr. Pirtle but when he answered she called him Dr. Turtle.

We use "DR. 10", and the location. When the code team arrives they know which room because the team consist of: ER doctors and nurses, lab, respiratory, house supervisor, chaplain, security and so on.

In the hospital i work at theres a GI doctor by the name Dr. Colon.
