Unexpected hug- and a shake, too

Ha, I was picturing you getting a hug, then getting your shoulders shaken or some thing,lol

Glad you had a good day !

I, too, thought of a physical shake and not a McDonald's shake... but gosh, now I want a milkshake too... and some fries.

I hope you start feeling better soon!

Those wonderful moments can outshadow the negative when we allow it. I remember being chewed out by a pt in one room, nit letting it phase me much because I knew my next pt encounter was going to be great. The good outweighed the bad. (Until staffing took a dive and no amount of niceness could outweigh how bad it got.)

Some of the best moments can come from those notoriously grumpy patients, I swear. I remember a patient, who, with my very 1st interaction with him, tried to kick me out of his room asking for a different nurse. I apologized and asked for a fresh start. Years later, and I still remember his grumpy butt quite fondly.

I thought this was going to be a thread on how to handle unwanted touching. Not only a hug, but the a vigorous shake! Should I file a complaint?

Glad it uplifted your spirits!
