Since she was such a delinquent, she would jokingly try to run people over. She decided the doctors were 10 points and the poor social worker was only worth 3. I told her, do not run over the nurses...who else would empty your hat and bring you special treats. We never run over nurses!LCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302609358772748900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-39695823728092263652008-04-25T17:16:00.000-06:002008-04-25T17:16:00.000-06:00awesome. just awesome.awesome. just awesome.the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-8163491138601134462008-04-25T16:38:00.000-06:002008-04-25T16:38:00.000-06:00i really really suck at confrontation.

Usually or eventually once in withdrawal, ours. The kitchen as you know, can be hot on any floor of the hospital.<BR/>3. Sometimes, no one is likeable or lovable-even to their mother. I'm sure this guy is like that.<BR/>4. The next time some f-er kicks me in the face, I'll press assault charges. I saw stars. I'm over the abuse and simply won't accept it. My nursing admin can put that Press-Ganey score where the sun don't shine.<BR/>5. I'd like to go to some of these patients place of employment and give what they gave ala Seinfeld's heckler. However, I recognize that many, (probably like this jerk) only have the job of ER hopping for Vicodin.<BR/>6. Despite the tongue in cheek tone of your post, this kind of treatment can be demoralizing and frightening. The next time this f-er comes in, give him what he deserves-an IM injection of haldol.<BR/><BR/>Have a better day today.Rudeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889298704039071473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-90635253742041161762008-04-25T04:46:00.000-06:002008-04-25T04:46:00.000-06:00Isn't it nice to be loved?
