Then you all really, really don't want to know what we say about you family members of the critically ill -- out of earshot.

Their mistake was blabbering in a showy public way.

I know you all have a stressful job, but you have no right to mock and criticize people who are trying their best to navigate a stressful situation, even if their behavior appears inappropriate to you. Find a new line of work.[/quote]

Actually, we do have that right. Free speech and all. [/quote]

Ummm... you can have free speech as an unemployed person.[/quote]

Look, if every nurse or physician was fired for talking bad about patient families then there would be no nurses or physicians left. [/quote]
Nope. I know some wonderful people in the medical profession who do not talk trash about the people they care for. You just run with a terrible crowd. [/quote]

Alright, you keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Just know if you’re in critical care and your family member is acting a fool, the whole floor has heard about it at the break room or nurse’s station. [/quote]

First off, who are you to determine if a family is acting a fool as you say? If they are 1. dangerous to themselves or others 2. making it difficult for patients to rest 3. physically or verbally assaulting staff or patients or other family members that is unacceptable. Anything else is mouth closed. You can complain about family. Dont utter a word about patients and their conditions/etc outside of medically necessary sharing of info. You are repugnant. Go see a therapist and talk it out. [/quote]

And who are you to determine how a stressed healthcare worker can blow off steam?  Gossiping in the break room is way better (and a lot cheaper) than therapy. 
Your superior attitude is repugnant. [/quote]

I’m a patient with relevant rights under federal law. You, as a health care provider, are responsible for upholding those rights. That’s how a “profession” works.[/quote]

These rights do not include treating hosistsgf like your personal servants, screaming, and making demands and taking up their time with personal errands for you.

I’m a manager and part of my duties involve managing our customer call center. When we get complaints from a customer about the way they were treated, the employee who handled the call almost always believes they were fully within their “rights” to yell at them or treat them unkindly back. I listen back to the calls…yes sometimes the customer starts it or says something unkind first but it almost always elevates due to one of our own employees. I can’t believe the things I hear them say to customers that they think was perfectly fine because “they caused it.”

Bottom line, if you believe you are constantly being treated poorly, you are likely playing victim in your mind and have absolutely no right to treat others as I am pretty sure I know how you’re treating them. [/quote]
