Nurse1245, I am not a nurse, but a very experienced patient. I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate everything you do and how much you care. You are probably way better at nursing than you 'think' you are!

As a frequent patient these last few years, I can confirm that YES, letting loose with a good run of "f--k f--k f--k...." is extremely therapeutic mentally, and also therefore physically. If I have the opportunity though, I will ask permission first. Like the first time I had my first NG tube pulled out. I said "wait, do you mind if I swear? I think it might help a bit" and that wasn't the only time. They never say no, it's always "if that helps you get through this, you go ahead and do it".

"Professional patient" here, sigh... and I totally support you nurses on this one. That sounds like a pretty entitled jerk. If I were a nurse, I'd have asked them if I was supposed to perform showtunes after the delivery of pain meds. Sheesh.
