TRUTH IN HEALTHCARE REVISITED IV

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT NURSES BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK

some nurses and their helpers were absolutely super going far beyond what you would expect a person to do. occasionally you would find one who did not have a clue as to what they were doing. how these workers even got into the building is a mystery.

one assistant (certainly not of nurse caliber) must have last worked in the brazilian outback or tierra del fuego. she would not take away a bed pan or do rational nurse duties. after giving me some drugs she asked whether i was bradley? no, i'm not bradley. he's next door. she stood serious and quiet for a few seconds then smiled and left. this particular nurse seemed to have her own unique methods probably made up as problems arose. i loudly reprimanded her for various irregular actions and told her she did not know what she was doing.

on another hospitalization a nurse or assistant backed into my foot and then accused me of molesting her. i objected strongly concerning my innocence. women in general seem to think all men are after them. not true. never saw her again.

a young nurse trying to fix the attached urinary collection device caused me to slightly respond to her touch. probably - maybe it was an illusion since i'm old and sick. she seemed to flush and walked away finishing her work later. did she flush? i thought so but it could of been anything or nothing. just my retarded male reptile imagination? actually, i don't think so.

another nurse was extremely helpful giving me some batteries for my radio and a super-duper plastic urinal which was necessary at the time.

nurses seemed to be immune to any disgusting thing that occurred or nakedness of the sick or old or fat. for various reasons every few minutes someone would ask me to expose myself. they squeezed my stomach or just looked and asked me if anything hurt. after about an army of people wandered through and examined me i was on the edge of hurting because of all the squeezing. since no one seemed to care that my clothing was in disarray why should i care? one day a nurse asked me to coverup. what the ------? whoa, i didn't think anyone cared?

one elderly lady orderly seemed to come into my room every half hour or so taking blood samples and checking my glucose level. nothing was ever wrong and the results were always about the same. i suspect she was mentally challenged given her job because the management may have had to create the position.

of course what do i know? these are medical professionals (sorta').
