the nerve of some nurses



Recommended Posts

So I finally got the message to my doctor to put me back in the bariatric program. When the nurse called she was completly out of line and trying to talk me out of the surgery. Out of the blue the woman went off..... I was in tears. I work in the medical field as well and that was uncalled for. I am too scared to complain since she is my pcm's nurse. My choices are non of her business!!!! Bet that b***h is skinny LOL Mad needed to vent.

She's actually out of line and potentially going against hospital policy to go off on you like that. You really should consider filing a formal complaint about it. It's that kind of bullying that causes people to second guess themselves and make poor decisions.

So glad I saw this thread tonight because today at pretesting, my Doctors nurse TOTALLY pissed me off!!! She was going over the clear liquid diet that I now have to start (blah!!!!) and when I asked how was I to get Protein (ya know, can I have shakes, or take a vitamin) she laughed! The B*tch actually laughed!!!!! So I was like, "honestly, there is nothing funny, and I'm genuienly concerned about my well being"..she says (in a condescending tone) "the surgeon wouldn't put you on anything that's detrimental to your health" I WAS LIVID!!!

Horrible people are everywhere...surround yourself with supportive loving people and, mostly, be kind to yourself! That nurse is surely an very unhappy person, be glad you are not her or married to her or her sister or whatever...

You should definitely file a complaint. That is uncalled for. A nurse's job is not to judge, but to inform and support in the best way possible.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
