    mathboy replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP,Yes, of course. Being polite yet professional is what I call good. While patients should certainly not expect hotel like service in a hospital, they can expect to be treated kindly and with...

    mathboy posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hello Guys, Now here's a small concern that I have whenever I go to the hospital. I have found nurses to be rude to me. I dont give it back because they're the one's who will be taking care of me and...

  12. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

    mathboy replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A few observations from all the replies I received. 1)Many people tend to disagree with my post, all one has to do is Google to get a neutral view. 2)Sometimes look at it from the other mans shoes...

    mathboy replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  14. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

    mathboy replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So much of bashing just for raising a issue I thought was valid. Anyway, I am done. Next time I guess its best to talk to the Manager or be patient as you say. And for all who said I wanted sympathy,...

    mathboy replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mathboy replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd rather rephrase that as 'hop'.Limping to another ER in itself ain't polite. That was one of the worst pains I had orthopedically. And the symptoms of a sprain and fracture are quite similar.I am...

    mathboy replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mathboy replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mathboy replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, these things were in the ER. He never liked me following up with him as to when I will be treated. There were around 8-10 people. I don't know about their issues, but I am in pain and he was...
