My mom ( now retired nurse, retired this year) came home pissed because she kept asking the doctors to prescribe a medication with an antihistamines because the drug was known to cause allergic reactions and they never did. They kept ignoring ger suggestion, then one day she started her shift and found this patient stracthing their itch body and then their tongue started swelling up and making hard for them to breathe. She had to administer the antihistamines but made sure to call in the doctor so he can witness how he almost killed a patient. When telling the story she almost started crying when describing the pain the patient was in and mentioned that the patient (psychiatric ward) already had an issue with taking medication and hated them and this episode just drove up their paranoia.

[@revparravager3184]

@@olavihekandjo2928 Thats because of the fact that somehow along the way the fact that nursing became a predominantly female occupation and the outward view of it molded, and twisted and mutated alongside the already rampantly present misogyny into the form it is today where Nurses are inherently devalued and believed to be basically not medical professionals but "NURSEmaids with a thermometer and a bedpan" . I use this quote by the way because I actually heard it from a doctor who was visiting my grandmother at the nursing home and had been unaware I was sitting on one of the waiting room chairs around the corner after him telling me to please leave the room because he needed to talk to my parents. I was only a kid at the time, like 7-8, and I figure in his own way he was trying to protect me from the fact that he was talking about her beginning to slide into untreatable dementia due to Alzheimer's. He also had told one of the nurses that she shouldnt be trying to give suggestions for treatment options because "she is not the specialist, and leave it to those who know better" (before he had asked me to leave). I was EXTREMELY angry at this because I knew he was insulting a very nice woman, and while I was just a kid I knew she was a VERY Good Nurse. How I knew this? All of this stemmed from the fact that the Nurse was actually a very caring woman who was so careful to take care of my grandmother while under her care and she told me all the time about her many, many years as a geriatric specialist and how she had gone to school to be a nurse for the elderly because of her own grandparents and how they were so badly treated because in those days the elderly werent cared for the right way in her home country (she was from Italy). She was with the residents 18 hours a day and learning all about their families and ailments and all the residents absolutely loved her and while my Gran was there for about 5-6 years I always made sure to stop off to see if Miss Delucia was there that day and say hello. So from everything I knew she WAS an expert in her profession and that mouthy little prick visiting doctor was merely the first in a long line of dismissive doctors sent over from the local hospital to check on some of the more intensive need patients every few days. Of course I am writing this a little more eloquently in retrospect based on my recollections from childhood, my thoughts on the matter were obviously less refined and wouldnt be useful to this present comment. Sadly that facility had to be shut down, NOT for a failure of their own, but for the fact that there had been a fire in the shared building and part of their facility was so badly damaged it required the moving of the patients into various facilities and by the time repairs had been finished sufficiently my grandmother was already settled into a new facility (which we later discovered was a bad mistake because it turned out the new facility was not anywhere near as good and in fact poorly run and was deceptive in its descriptions of its staff and their level of experience and such. We ultimately had to take her out of there as soon as we found out and moved her into our home and then had in home nurses visit daily to help with her care and my cousin became her primary caretaker during the day when the rest of the family was at school, work etc. She only survived a few more years due to the rapid onset of her Alzheimers but I wanted to mention this comment because of yours based on Nursing. Its why to this day I respect Nurses immensely for the fact that they are never given the respect they deserve, I feel.

Remember when I used to take non-hospital friends to the Hospital Social Club when there were gigs on and they could not get over how people were letting their hair down and having a good time ("This is amazing, i havnt had this good a time since i was a teenager" 38 year old engineer) ... those people had a working life that was intrinsically rewarding but difficult and needed balance, and this was the good time that provided some of that counterweight.

Pardon Me In most cases that is because there is so little money and personal for them to work right. Sometimes nurse have to work in really bad environments while the world outside of healthcare is just ignoring how bad the healthcare situation is locally. Believe me, when you are doing a shift with another nurse while it should've actually been 5 nurses doing a shift, it's really hard to stay nice, not stressed out, and hasty. It sucks to want to give more care than you can time wise.

[@ThirrinDiamond]

@@TheLoonu theres a difference between being stressed and being abusive. There is never any excuse for being abusive. A nurse i had, despite me telling her i had an eating disorder, not only purposely triggered it but encouraged it so that i would fit into the bmi requirements when my stomach was visibly flat. Another nurse screamed at me to shut up and stop crying when i was having a panic attack brought on by ptsd and sensory overload due to my autism and when i tried to explain that she said i dont care, be quiet. Another nurse not only hit a nerve when drawing blood (a thing that hasnt happened before or since, despite weekly blood draws, due to me having very clear and prominent veins, never saw her again either) she repeatedly stirred around inside my arm and pulled out fully and inserted the same needle, repeatedly. I still have sensory issues and pain in my arm due to it. Not everyone is nice no matter how defensive of your profession you feel and defending the people who do this type of shit only serves to not only invalidate victims of medical abuse but also to make those victims not trust healthcare at all. If you dont know what a person has gone through then who are you to deem it as non damaging and that the nurse probably just had "a bad day" The commenter you responded to was obviously speaking from personal trauma and you tried to, without inquiring further, make it look like theyre overexaggerating. Your words have power and you have used that power carelessly. If you really do care for people then maybe dont call victims liars without hearing them out, sheesh. For the older written record of nurses running hospitals like a prison, look up nellie bly and how she was treated less than 200 years ago and then look up testimonies from recent times and see the heartbreaking similarities.

The doctor almost prescribed a medication that would give my grandma diarrhea and she jumped right in and said no and explained why. He got irritated at her for questioning him in front his patients but when he left, my mom and I thanked her profusely. It was around Christmas when this happened and I felt really grateful so I made homemade assorted cookies and put them in cookie tins that I wrapped with ribbon. When we went to give them to her she was so surprised. She's used to people not really showing appreciation. But her face lit up and I'll never forget how she helped.

[@vadalia3860]

@MrHoppers002 Possibly it comes down to the slightly different focus on what the two jobs entail. A doctor's primary job is to cure an illness or, in cases of a chronic disease, minimize the damage to the patient. A nurse's primary job is to help the patient heal from, or manage, their illness. Usually this is done by carrying out the doctor's orders but sometimes, as in the original comment, we get a doctor who wants to use the (presumably) most effective medicine to treat the illness clash with a nurse who knows the unwanted side effects of said medication is going to undermine the patient's overall healing process. Or basically- doctors fight the illness, nurses help the sick.

Another time he was in the basement of a murderer who killed a girl about my age out riding her bike.

[@PumpkinHoard]

Ummmm.... no. Fighting in a war is monumentally worse than childbirth. Put yourself in a situation where people are trying to kill you constantly for months, if not years on end. Constant gunfire, never knowing if one of those bullets is going to hit you. Artillery fire that goes on for days on end, and one single round could land on or near you and that'll be it for you. If you're one of the lucky ones an explosive shell doesn't land on you'll likely have the dubious pleasure of seeing your friends, people you have trained and fought alongside for months/years blown to pieces. People you trust to have your back and rely upon to survive. There one moment, gone the next. All happening in the middle of winter, snow everywhere but you and your fellow soldiers have to just hunker down, soaked and frozen in a foxhole, unable to start a fire to keep warm as the enemy might spot it and fucking kill you because you gave away your position. Lol, 38 hours of pain. Try a lifetime for a lot of the people who go to war. Those who survives bombs or shells going off are frequently in pain for the rest of their lives and left physically disabled. Potentially minus limbs they were previously rather attached to. Covered in scar tissue from burns that never really stop hurting. Oh, and all of the above frequently leads people to lose their fucking minds. Shell shock, or as we call it these days PTSD? Those who go through war often suffer from a lifetime of psychological problems as a result of their experiences in war. And to make it even better, it may not have even been your choice to go! You may have been conscripted on pain of imprisonment and forced to fight in said war as countless people have throughout history. Most women CHOOSE to have children, But no, 38 hours of pain (likely with an epidural) surrounded by medical professionals and family that ends with you taking your newborn child back to your nice safe home. Totally worse than having to go to war.

[@Widdekuu91]

+Norfookian I wasn't talking about epidurals ofcourse. And I believe we were solemny talking about pain and not about trauma. Because I just said that ofcourse the baby-aspect changes that. Ofcourse women get postnatal depression and psychosis as well, because not everyone has the warm family you're suggesting. But why on earth is this discussion taking such a dark turn? It was óne person that suggested it JEESH. WE STARTED on the comparison with loving people and seeing them die each day, failing to be able to help them. THAT is what the comparison was, people.
