I now work for NHS. Most people are lovely. About 6 years ago though I did my 1st day work experience for NHS to decide if I should train.
I asked a ( make%, intimidating)staff member where the ladies was and he told me. I took a wrong turn and he viciously and loudly bellowed " listen would you."
To a guest!
Whist a student also met a few like rhis.why?
No idea why it still irks me but I think it has stuck as it was my 1st experience in hospital. My current one is largely lovely

You didn't listen properly so you got it wrong.

In a medical place getting it wrong could cost other people their lives.

Seriously? That’s a reach! Someone got lost so it was ok to be unpleasant because they might kill a patient?! I have worked in the nhs for 30 years and would consider this rudeness unacceptable. Raise your bar!

Are you still ruminating on a minor incident SIX years ago ?

Being rude to people in a medical place could also cost other people their lives. There's a whole campaign about this https://www.civilitysaveslives.com/

It's grim knowing there are people like that working in the NHS, OP. Luckily they are a minority in my experience too.

6 years ago? And your current workplace is OK?

The NHS is famous for its bullying culture I'm surprised you've back there to work to be honest.
