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 I want them to care for me.
I have a lot of respect for nurses, they are angels for the kind of compassionate work they do, but some experiences here and there create a long lasting memory. Only friendly people in hospital to me were the nuns and priests, during communion time.
Sometimes, I have even tried to avoid going to hospitals.
Is this because they want patients to be submissive and obedient ? I have never come across a friendly nurse till date.
Rude patients do exist, is this why they put the foot down first?
Btw, I am a colored(brown) person, so I wonder if this is a reason.
Once when I was admitted, there was a senior nurse who at first was rude. But then I told her that she was like my mother and I felt hurt that she was rude. I told her nicely and she was nice to me after that.
But, as a patient we go to hospitals emotionally and physically down, the last thing we would want is to get intimidated by the nurse.
What's the best way to tell a nurse that it hurts when they're rude without getting them angry.
