Once I had a pt who was actively trying to die and I was actively trying to stop him, another pts family member stopped me in the hall while I was bringing the code cart to the other room, to demand that I stop what I was doing and put his mother back to bed because her bottom hurt from sitting in the chair for 20 mins. I explained that I was in the middle of an emgency and would be there just as soon as I could, he then started screaming and cursing about how his mother was being neglected...so I stopped him and told him that of course I would stop what I was doing and get his mom back to bed, however the deal was that the next time she tried to die I was going to go put someone else back to bed before I tried to help her. He shut up and apologized and bought pizza for the staff.
