It's embarrassing enough I had to call her for help because I couldn't trust myself to make the step, but to be advised to learn to code while I'm in hospital as I'm leaning on her in nothing but a towel is a new level.

Then again this is the same woman I overheard tell the afternoon guy that I'm "a bit useless" when they switched shifts so I shouldn't be surprised.

      I'm literally in here for kidney issues. My operation has been pushed back because of covid messing everything up so the "one month inpatient stay" looks like it'll be closer to two right now. Which is so great.

      I know exactly what you're talking about. Back in November I was at the point where any movement at all greater than an inch or two made me violently sick and so I was basically sat bolt upright against a wall, legs pulled up to my chest and tightly clutching a water bottle and a cardboard bowl to throw up into and one of the nurses with me said to me "alright enough with the dramatics" and tried to pull me up without warning. Like what the fuck are you doing. I threw up all over her and she acted like I was at fault. The vast majority of nurses are amazing and then you have these random fucking psychos who seem to think anyone without obvious physical signs is being dramatic or faking it for some God damn reason.

        Jesus christ, yeah you're talking about literal psychopaths, they should screen caregivers for those tendencies. I hope she gets organ failure put in the care of another goddamn lizard brained piece of shit
