To think nurses should be professional!

[Theincrediblesulk1]

I am so bloody mad! My Nan had a stroke last week, i went to see her today i thought telling the doctors who are looking after her that i have an hereditary thrombophilia, mutation that causes more blood clots, So i went to the nurses station.

The nurse said "hello can i help you?" i said "yes i would like to inform a doctor that i have a hereditary condition that causes blood clots, as my nan has just had a stroke

She sniggered at me!

Aibu to think she should be shot in the head for being such an idiot!!!!

No sorry i lost my cool, AIBU to think nurses should be professional and not laugh at people who are concerned for their relatives, especially when they are attempting to give them relevant medical background?!

i didn't ask you any questions. i don't need to. you are making a fine show of yourself without any help.

What does 'you shat out' mean?

Actually it couldnt have been me, I dont seem to recall any three year old children approaching me today as far as I remember

OP are you drunk?

Booooooooooooyhoo, beat me to it.

If she's drinking on warfarin, may explain why she's struggling to get her INR therapeutic.

if Op is drunk, she has been so for 48 hours now

kittya, there were about 6 or 7 nurses running there arses off around her and no word of a lie she was looking into space when i got there! she had no pen, i was happy to wait no rush i stood and waited to see if she was busy or not. Face it not everyone is productive some people just lull through life. All the other girls were working like dogs, but not her!

very strange appearance of the nurse

just give the initials of the hospital as proof

oops, 24 hours

Looking into space AND eating AND laughing....

I was trying to be charitable OP- but now I am a bit sceptical. Particularly as your description of your own condition shows a very limited understanding of thrombophilia and pulmonary emboli. about training as a midwife.....

I hope your Nan makes a good recovery.

on warfarin? no would kill me to be drunk!

maybe she was on a break. nurses are entitled to sit down you know.

poor breeding will always out

I just finished late shift-no break

I dont really care who thinks its strange, it IS strange, its also soul destroying to see threads like this by people who dont have a clue about you and your professional ability saying you should be shot in the head/are a prick/psychopath etc.

I beg your pardon 3little, i am not currently doing the midwifery training, i am starting next year! And what a sexy thing to make up for yourself pulmonary embolisms, want me to copy the jargon out from my hand held notes to prove myself then?

Onceupona, I think it must be upper middle-class dialect for something not very nice ...

Its all totally bizarre, making me dizzy reading it.

OP your really must go to the Ward Manager tomorrow and voice your concerns. Thats what they are there for.

what accent do you have! tell me that and i will bring you a big sorry card and a bunch of flowers to say sorry! go on!

i hope OP does experience some time as a midwife in a busy hospital. and i hope she remembers this thread when she sits down after a 12 hour shift and snatches the corner off a bun before being called back from her gazing into space/escape from reality for 2 bloody minutes trance.

Well no one should insult you but if you have a sneeze that sounds like you're laughing in someone's face then you should sort yourself out.

I have a face that looks like a slapped arse, seriously I always look like I am giving everyone the death stare- I try not to make the public feel like shit when they talk to me so I manage to summon up a smile.

Yeah looking into space, eating and laughing!

Sulk, are you doing/ have done an access to midwifery course? My friends are really struggling to find places to do their biology a level part-time to even be able to apply. Have you deferred entry?
