Dr Visits- did you know there are no fat Pow?

[Nursebarbie 392]

Please do report her file a grievance. I wish more patients would do that and we could finally get rid of these crappy nurses.

[Oregondaisy 2,019]

I'm still trying to figure out what she was talking about. There are noFat Pos? What is that? There are no WHAT? I haven't got a clue what this woman even meant.

Please report her!

Me too. Fat pow? Huh?!?!

[MichiganChic 3,262]

What a ridiculous statement...almost like she doesn't have coherent thoughts. She made the leap from POWs lose weight due to not enough food, ergo, anyone can do it. It was rude, thoughtless, and a little nuts. On what planet is a statement like that helpful? I'd report her to the doc, on the record, then she will remember exactly what she said. I suspect she won't learn much though, sadly people like that just are that way and feel entitled to spread their venom under the guise of "helping". There was nothing you could have said or done.

I agree with others, if you can, do her bosses a favour and give them evidence to support either sacking her or starting a performance management process. This woman needs to learn, maybe the hard way, this behaviour is NOT acceptable. She acted as if a 'mean girl' and a bully. She abused her power by giving an unsolicited personal opinion which she had no right to voice in her work role. She delivered her statement, when she had you captive, belittled and demeaned you, then went about her job all self important and sanctimonious, as if nothing had happened, most likely knowing full well how hurtful she'd been. Actually I feel sorry for her, how unhappy she must be to be so mean - a prisoner of her own inner war - must be eh, probs why she's so skinny! Cracking myself up now ( aka laughing at own joke) Sending love and light to you from Australia (ps. We have mean girls here too!)

I get stuck working with these nasty people and the bosses can't get rid of them because nobody ever reports them officially.

[AmandaRaeLeo 2,145]

POW? The only way I know to define that is prisoners of war. Is there another meaning I don't know about?

Amanda,

The nurse meant it as Prisoner of War.. She was saying that since they are prisoners, they can only eat what they get, if anything...(she was telling Bella, that if she doesn't eat she won't be heavy).

I'm with you. What are FAT POWS?

[Jen35 283]

I definitely would report her. Stuff like this makes me so mad!!! Prejudice against the overweight is so common and people need to be held accountable. They think it's okay so say something so offensive to us but would they say something equally offensive/hurtful to someone about their race, disability, etc.? (I guess some would) Most would think twice.

I would have told her "You know, I will lose weight, but I feel sorry for you because there is no surgery in the world to make you less of a b**ch!"

The only way I could think to define POW was prisoners if war... But knowing that I thought, there could be no way the nurse meant that. That is too crass and absolutely horrific. I'm sorry you had to deal with such cruelty, OP.

I am so saddened to hear someone said such a thing. I would report the nurse. Fat shaming is unacceptable. Please take a stand.

[BellaHugz 331]

Yes, I have to agree she meant it as a Prisoner of War. Which truely appauled me and I was in shock with her rash explanation. This isnt the first time I have been subjected to such rude undercurrent of obesity prejudice. It goes on far to much for any of us to admit, that is why I got in to my car and cried. Then my song came on "What doesnt kill you makes you stronger" by Kelly Clarkson. And that line in the song just makes me want to fight for my health and leave the foolishness of behind me. I am not by any means going to accept her foolishness as my way of life.

Thank you all for being so supportive!

big hugz

Don't let some scrawny a$$ mediocre nurse ruin your day. Obviously she is in the wrong line of work. She would be PERFECT athe local DMV.
