The nurses had to endure being shouted and sworn at. I just couldn't believe my eyes and ears!!!<br /><br />Yes, it appears that some people do like to complain. Guess it gives them something to do that they're good at? Thank God there are people like you in this world. Thank God!!! I can see that many many people agree with me, if the number of comments you get are anything to go by:)<br /><br />Hope you'll have time to visit my blog:) http://gloriacarringtonferrira.blogspot.com/Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656576703356658911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-90277118022163081802009-10-29T20:37:33.976-06:002009-10-29T20:37:33.976-06:00Barb, thank you.

She says she'll not get another. <br /><br />You can only do so much! You know there is that silly "free will!" :)<br /><br />luv ya!!

I am glad Katie is getting it soon, we have many infected in Alberta and Toronto's hospital has double it's patient intake in 5 days, it is the young ones they are losing which is so sad. One young boy, 13 wasn't feeling well on the weekend, his mother, a nurse took him to hospital on Sunday and he passed away Monday, this boy did not have an underlying condition. I find it scary as this virus can change form so quickly and with this boy it attacked his lungs. So happy for you that all is working out finally, I know there is not point in telling you to rest and not work so hard but I am anyway.<br />Take care...luv ya....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-1305766880630442752009-10-28T22:20:01.739-06:002009-10-28T22:20:01.739-06:00Oh Joan, I fall in love with all our patients but ...Oh Joan, I fall in love with all our patients but they did make me think something was off yesterday.

They gave Jake a regular flu shot in the hospital. It seems that we just got the H1N1 in our area. I'm trying to figure out how to get one for Jake. He can't wait in line that long.<br /> Love DiDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-1411953588562567222009-10-28T18:02:35.813-06:002009-10-28T18:02:35.813-06:00I agree Bernie...it is very odd behavior.

I hope they saw what had just occurred and understood the message that they shouldn't have spent time complaining.<br />To me, don't complain unless you have or can share a constructive way to the solution. Just because folks are sick does not excuse them from being humane and kind.<br />You did the right thing to call them on it and then let it go if they did not want shots....<br />You do such good work, they are lucky to have you and the R.N. caring for them.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-16459032648050357852009-10-28T17:49:14.356-06:002009-10-28T17:49:14.356-06:00Because you are a positive person, it is sometimes...Because you are a positive person, it is sometimes hard to understand the negativity in others.
