  1. I have been impersonated-Input please

    Snowy replied to Cubby's topic in General Nursing

    Being a victim of fraud and collection agencies trying to hunt me down for bills, etc. that aren't even mine, I would say pursue this for sure. Sadly, crediting ratings, equifax, etc. are such a...

    Snowy posted a topic in Emergency

  4. Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    Snowy replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

  8. ER abuse was encouraged last night

    Snowy replied to Snowy's topic in Emergency

  9. Patients who come to the ER in labor and do not know they were pregnant?

    Snowy replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Isn't a patient coming in not knowing they're pregnant, much like these people who get foreign objects "stuck up there" but have no idea how it happened? I see a lot of similarities in these

  10. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Snowy replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

  11. ER abuse was encouraged last night

    Snowy replied to Snowy's topic in Emergency

  12. ER abuse was encouraged last night

    Snowy replied to Snowy's topic in Emergency

    I've been having 10/10 pain all day and was pretty frightened when I peed blood. A closefriend who gets Rx's for generic soma and lortab brought me a coupe and they're helping get me though the pain...

    Worse yet, whether they go to the ER or PMD for a viral illness, so many who insist on being given antibiotics

  15. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Snowy replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I'd mentioned my own personal story elsewhere, but on the lines of people being in ER for unecessary stuff; such as the time I was in (due to traumatic injuries/fractures which ended up in a several...

  18. Interesting - new "bedside manners" test for med students -

    Snowy replied to u-r-sleeepy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You're still talking about docs here, not donuts, right? :wink2: My 2¢ on personality testing- I'd say some of that depends on the specialty a person is going in to. I have run in to doctors (even...

  21. hostile chargenurse

    Snowy replied to maxinefrancine's topic in Emergency

    Are there other staff you are a little closer to? Perhaps best thing is as a group complain about her, plus others who "think you're like her" may realize otherwise. My first impression from reading...
