Very true tropicsgoddess. I also agree with the person who said that guy should have been escorted out by security after he cussed out the nurse. I don't care how stressed out the man is, behavior like that should never be tolerated especially in a hospital setting.
I do feel for the nurses, because sometimes the doctors (who only see the patients a few times a week) set up the sucky behavior. When my husband was in the hospital, the doctors had a big problem with communication. They would change meds or once even gave him a blood transfusion without telling us about it first. So when the poor nurse came in with the new med/ blood transfusion we were shocked and wanted to know why hubby was getting it. Nurse also did not know- doctor had never spoken to her, he just wrote the orders. I remember feeling angry and very frustrated, but I knew it wasn't the nurse's fault and both hubby and I were careful not to act angry with her. Unfortunately, I know that some people will take their anger at the doctors out on the nurses. Not really an excuse to be rude, but I can see how it happens.
