#can i just vent about an especially Annoying patient in the emergency room today lmao#yall know im a volunteer there and its my job to keep triage organized and keep ppl in the waiting room happy#she was waiting in triage amongst other patients and i thought she was everyones family member because she was!! getting involved in#everyones care like asking why it was taking so long...offering medical advice etc etc#she budged the line to ask triage doctor if a lady (unrelated to her) could have a drink and when he said 'no' (because she hadnt been#looked at yet and they prefer to make sure they wont need empty stomachs if they will need intubation/surgery etc) she rolled her eyes and#sneered and said (sarcastically) ''thanks'' and told me she works at administration and SHE believes the patient should have water#(admin is not medical btw lmao)#THEN she went on to another patient who had query blood infection and she legit grabbed his arm and went 'baby u have a terrible infection!!#you better go to minor treatment NOW and start this 7 day course of [antibiotic] right now!!' all the while gasping dramatically#so i went up to her and said something jokingly like 'haha youre scaring him... lets wait to see what the doctor has to say about his#condition before prescribing him anything' and she shot me the ugliest shit eating face and said ''what are you again?'' and i went#''im a volunteer'' (obviously) and she went#''well im a NURSE i think i know infections better than you do sweetie''#like binch what??? first of all u said u were admin...scond of all these patients are not your concern!! third of all i dont care if you#have medical knowledge you CANNOT give unsolicited medical advice to these people who have known for a few seconds#not only could you be incorrect but now the patient has a preconvienced notion of what care theyll be given and will doubt the REAL doctor#when they perscribe something different/give a different diagnosis etc etc#i highly doubt she was a nurse because i HOPE licensed nurses would know to stay in their lane and not jump to conclusions#and also not to speak rudely to fellow employees :^))) like binch im not even getting paid to be here i dont have to listen 2 this#i had a few other patients who complemented my work today so it all evened out tho i know im doing a good job#fuck i wish i was more intimidating i feel about 4 feel tall when ppl speak down to me like that
