    Patient Care And Customer Service Are Not The Same!

    uRNmyway replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And some of those who think this is a good thing need to read the thread on stupid things people present to the ER for. When someone takes an ambulance to go to the ER for a hangnail and is made to...

    If you put the pull out bed in front of the suction equipment one more time, I WILL hurt you. Because if your child starts choking on secretions and I cant get to him in time because of the bed and...

    Well you could look at it two ways. The bright ones know how much money and time is involved in caring for and raising kids, so we don't have more than we can handle. The dumb ones don't think of...
