Evil, selfish people!

& sometimes I am too.


But I do my best at being a kind, selfless person. It's hard and most of the time unrewarding, but I do it time and time again. I get tired of it. I would be lying if I said I didn't ..I would be kind of ..non human.

Why am I even bringing this up? Well, one because I've got the time to write about the woman who inspired me to expand on my feelings. I am stuck working a 12 hr shift - I like to call them nurse shifts, but I don't get paid a nurse's salary because I'm not a nurse. UGH. But I do work at the hospital and I should not have expected any LESS! Plus, I do not mind working. Getting those extra dollars in my paycheck is nice.

So, I did 4 hours in the ER from 2am to 6am this morning. During the middle of my shift a woman who I recognized from my other job (Yes, I have 2 jobs ), came in stating she had been seen earlier yesterday evening and the ER doctor did not give her what she wanted. Just to clarify that she indeed wanted to be seen AGAIN, I asked. She flipped out like I was the idiot and said, "Of course, I am in excruciating pain! Are you joking! (mockingly) 'DO I WANT TO CHECK IN!?'" Then she had a seat. First off, I'm already cranky from being a push over and working this shift. Second, I understand that pain, tiredness, selfishness, whatever is not the norm for you can affect the way you treat others & the decisions you make. BUT REALLY? So she went on choosing this attitude and told the nurse triaging her that she would kick the ER doctor's butt! 5 minutes later, I see the cops stroll in. They chit chat for a while then she and her posse leave. An hour or so later, one of the people this woman was with came back to ask me the name of the on call supervisor. I immediately left my desk and let the nurses know. Apparently, this person made bomb threats to the hospital, stating that they could take 9 people at once because they were in the "marines" before leaving. THEN, you'll never guess ... -_- This woman and other person COME BACK! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! For crying out loud lady, you are not going to get your drugs! Needless to say, the cops arrived and arrested the person who made all the bomb threats or what have you right during shift change! She eventually was frisked, they took her knife that she had in her robe, and took her back.

I honestly could not believe this woman if I had not seen it for myself. I really want to straight up ask, "What/who did this to you lady?" and "Do you want to be like this for the rest of your life?"
