Working in nhs and I shocked at how passive aggressive and rude pts and relatives are to nurses. I work as a cleaner on a set busy area of my local hospital and know the staff on the ward very well. They are a good lot and care about their pts but have noticed many nurses getting verbal abuse. When the patients are on own absolutely fine with nurses but when family visit seem to criticise staff and then nurses get a lot of verbal passive abuse. It's awful. They seem to take it all and when drs come even if pts and relatives not happy they moan at nurses but pleasant to drs. It's not nice to see. Last week one of nurses had returned to work after losing her dad and didn't have breaks as so hectic and off late and all I could hear throughout shift pts and reliatives speaking to her in a very bad way and not seeing rest of what she was doing with all other work.
Anyone else seen this.
Any other nhs staff experienced this.
I'm worried as my niece starting nurse training as not sure now after seeing this treatment and disrespectful way public are with staff.

Lol they’re the worst. And when I was a nurse I had to listen to them going on about their prostate problems, regardless of what they were in for.

I think it bad. Without that being said as someone who is both a patient and employee of the NHS, I think some of it goes both ways. I have experienced rudeness from both GP and consultants. Nurses and other allied professional are generally polite and professionals In my job we receive a rude and inappropriate email from GPs. They can be very prescriptive. There is the odd consultant who talks down to other staff The NHS overall is not in a good place. The Nhs is a toxic place.

Women are sad and angry about how the NHS treats them

Campaign Against Painful Hysteroscopy has now collated 7500 cases of women undergoing painful hysteroscopies without anasthetic and in some cases told to put up and shut up. One medic even admitted that they would not be attempting the equivilant procedure without GA on a man.

With the excuse of mental illness, there are a couple of men I encounter, who, although they have the clinic letters in front of them, ask me to read them out loud

Penis. Penis. Erection. Penis.

They get off on it. I feel like a phone sex line worker
