Which, still not appropriate and deserves to be reprimanded but GOP news sources are acting like she amputated the guy's leg or something on purpose. She was cavalier about a common occurrence that causes no longterm harm. It was insensitive.
RWNJ call to arms.
Lol I had to google RWNJ.
Yeah I work in healthcare administration, my boss is an MD and I just can't imagine her having this attitude about taking a couple tries to stick someone. It happens all the time, esp. in older patients who are already in the hospital (dehydrated, not great blood flow, etc.) but it's not comfortable and most doctors/nurses would be SUPER apologetic about it. The med. student's attitude was blase about it, which isn't good, though I'm sure most nurses (doctors usually don't do IVs) who had an annoying patient would go home and make a remark like that to their family - "Annoying patient. Took me a couple times to stick him. Ah, well!" It doesn't belong in a public forum. She deserves to be reprimanded for that. She does not deserve to lose everything she has worked for, and no, her being canceled is not "Amazing" as someone up thread posted.
Even if her attitude was shitty - which it was - I don't believe she did it on purpose and it wasn't a risk to the guy's longterm health and wellbeing.
