Dr Visits- did you know there are no fat Pow?

[Nursebarbie 392]

No doubt. What a hag. I would have said I may be fat but you are a shitty nurse.

[NMJG 1,266]

Oh my, I really feel for you. I can imagine all sorts of zingers to say to her (hindsight is so much fun.) how about, "actually, I'm leaving for North Korea right after surgery, how did you know?" Or, "I am a POW, I was held captive in Afghanistan (no offense to real POWs). Or, "Really? If I don't put food in my mouth I won't be fat? How does that work, really I never knew that!"

I find it really interesting that the most hurtful comments about my weight have been made by the medical profession, as if they feel its their duty to shock you into losing it. Many have no empathy and I would love to put them in my shoes!

[Nursebarbie 392]

We don't all feel that way. I would never do that to a patient. Like I said tyere are some nasty nurses out there and because nobody reports them we never can get rid of them. So every time report them.

I have to say having worked in the medical profession and many years in a Hospital most people are not rude, they are in the healthcare profession to help others. But there are some people who are hard and calous and they do get away with murder with their words that cut like a two edge sword.
