the nerve of some nurses



Recommended Posts

So I finally got the message to my doctor to put me back in the bariatric program. When the nurse called she was completly out of line and trying to talk me out of the surgery. Out of the blue the woman went off..... I was in tears. I work in the medical field as well and that was uncalled for. I am too scared to complain since she is my pcm's nurse. My choices are non of her business!!!! Bet that b***h is skinny LOL Mad needed to vent.

She's actually out of line and potentially going against hospital policy to go off on you like that. You really should consider filing a formal complaint about it. It's that kind of bullying that causes people to second guess themselves and make poor decisions.

So glad I saw this thread tonight because today at pretesting, my Doctors nurse TOTALLY pissed me off!!! She was going over the clear liquid diet that I now have to start (blah!!!!) and when I asked how was I to get Protein (ya know, can I have shakes, or take a vitamin) she laughed! The B*tch actually laughed!!!!! So I was like, "honestly, there is nothing funny, and I'm genuienly concerned about my well being"..she says (in a condescending tone) "the surgeon wouldn't put you on anything that's detrimental to your health" I WAS LIVID!!!

Horrible people are everywhere...surround yourself with supportive loving people and, mostly, be kind to yourself! That nurse is surely an very unhappy person, be glad you are not her or married to her or her sister or whatever...

You should definitely file a complaint. That is uncalled for. A nurse's job is not to judge, but to inform and support in the best way possible.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
