seriously? life of a nurse

so today at work i had a patient say to me, "i would like to say something to you, but i don't want you to be offended"  to which i responded, "go ahead".  he then said, "you remind me of my sister.  she is a snotty bitch!".  wow.  i asked him why he would call me that and he said "because of the way you move your eyes and your voice".  ok. whatever.  people.amaze.me!!  i have honestly never had a patient say anything like that to me. of course I don't believe him. .  oh well. life goes on.  obviously he did not offend me. this is the life of an er nurse.

people are so stupid. because he's in the hospital it gives him the right to be completely rude to you? what the hell. people are so stupid.

Oh Kim. That is hilarious. I'm surprised a Utah pt would say that to you!! They seem so meek and mild in comparison to the a--holes I take care of in Boston.

Oh, the life of an ER nurse, indeed!

Hope all is well. :)
