I don't think people understand exactly how to behave in a hospital.
The hospital does not exhist to give you somthing to do, the babies in the nursury are not some sort of "free museum exhibit".
Shirt, shoes and pants are required at all times, not just one item on the list. The only exception is if you're brought in in an ambulance.
For the love of god, bring your frickin ID and insurance. You're comming to the hospital for a test, dont' you think you'll need them.
Don't tell us that you're "in the computer", shut up and give us your damn cards.
Bring your orders, it's not an easy task to get you a new order from your doctor. Neither us or them have time to keep up with your papers. Don't get angry if you have to wait an hour for your Dr's office to get a minute to make you a new one.
Turn off your damn cell phone or put it on silent. It's incretably rude to take care of a patient that's yapping away on their phone. We get it, your one of those idiots that have to be talking to somone over a phone at all times.
Do keep your child entertained, don't expect me to entertain them for you. But, don't bring LOUD noise making toys.
Do arrive at your scheduled time, if your order says be in the ER registration are at 6:30, don't come to the regular registration area and sign in at 5:58. We close at 6, and don't want to stay to register you when you're in the wrong place. Kudos to you for being on time, but FOLLOW THE DAMN DIRECTONS!!
No, I cannot call your doctor's office because you just want to have a pregancy test. You have to be seen by your doctor to get one. If you can't do that there is a CVS next door.
Do not pass the big "INFORMATION" desk and tap on my window when it has a big closed sign infront of it. If nobody is there and the light is out, don't expect me to come from the back to tell you where the bathroom is.
It's not polite to randomly pick up items off people's desks, yes it's pretty but don't get up to touch.
Latex gloves are not some freebie, don't take a purse-load of them home.
Mistakes happen, just because someone mispelled your name is not an excuse to file an grievence.
Your social status has no meaning, sit down, shut up, and wait.
The ER is for emergencies ONLY.
Nobody wants to hear your life story, we're busy and have loads of patients. I'm not your therapist.
Do not drop off childered or mentally disable adults at the hospital as a replacement for daycare. Our patients are a big enough pain without dealing with people who have no business there.
Yes, I need your social security number. Not everyone is trying to scam you.
If your name is long and odd, don't expect me to get it right on the first try. Don't bark at me if I mis pronounce it.
Check your wallet/pockets before accusing me of losing your insurance card or id.
Don't go around asking ER employees:"How did that guy die" When you're told no, don't get angry.
Wow, it's a life flight helicopter. Don't get in the way to watch it take off. It's not that big of a deal.
Other patient's business isn't yours, privacy is king. Don't ask other people "what's wrong with you".
No, you may not use my phone. Go down the hall and use the free phones.
The tissues are on my desk for a reason, please refrain from sneezing on me or my items.
If you're here to register, stay in the registration area. Don't go tooling around in the gift shop or you'll be skipped. If you have to go to the bathroom, let the woman at the front desk know.
No, you may not keep my pen.
No, I don't know how they do procedures in the OR. That's somthing you should have asked your Doctor.
Just because you think you're sicker than somone else dosen't mean you really are.
People are seen in the ER by severity, so somone having a heart attack goes ahead of a toothache.
Shut up and listen to me when I explain the forms you're signing, you'll wish you did.
Tell us the truth, we can't tell anyone anyway.
Don't eat infront of me, have a bit more respect for others.
Don't eat in the waiting area, somone with gastritis won't apperciate it and will probably ruin you meal when the get sick.
Don't try to give me a religious pamplet, I'll throw it away. Don't hide one on my desk either.
Don't tell me that all the information is correct, I have to verify the info or my boss yells at me. Besides it's never correct.
Don't tap on my desk, it's annoying.
Don't come around my desk and stare over my sholder, it's rude.
If your test was on Tuesday and it's Friday, you're a bit late. you'll have to make another appointment, and I'm not doing it for you.
It's a big hospital, don't get upset if I've never met your neiece that works on 4 east.
If you're not working you're unemployed. You're not a stay at home mom, you're not a student or a homemaker. Don't get angry if I ask, I don't know why the hospital needs to know but we do.
Don't get upset because I don't kiss your ass, I treat everyone the same way.
(don't take this the wrong way) I'm white, red headed and pale (i'm 24 and look 18). If I'm sitting at a desk with pictures of a black 10 year old in a foot ball unifor don't ask me if it's my kid. Don't ask me if he's mixed, that's horribly rude (sorry if it's offensive but people keep asking me that!!)
If you have BO, I'm sorry. If you smell bad enough I'll have to breathe through my mouth, it might be a bit obvious. I won't be rude, but please don't be angry because I don't want to smell it.
Don't try to tip me, say thank you. Giving me match booklets is just plain insulting.
I don't want to see picturs of your kids, I don't have time for that. I'm sure they're really great.
Don't ask me to be quiet so that you can answer your phone. I'll ask you to leave and you'll have to wait while I register another patient. Not just is my time prescious but so is the time of everyone waiting on me to finish with you.
If your orders are in your car, go get them. I'm not calling your doctors office because you don't want to go get them.
No, i will not adjust the temperature for you. You're here 5 minutes I'm here 8 hours. It will take longer for the temperature to change.
No, the skittles on the desk are mine. They're not a treat for your child, please don't tell him/her that they'll get them as a reward for being good. The gift shop down the hall sells them.
Wow, bet you can tell I had a bad day.

Yeah, cuz your cut finger is a lot more important than my banged head, broken ribs and broken hand.
