ER STORY.... YOU OPINION PLEASE [+] serious ballot by larrynelmira ACTIVE Tue Jun 19, 07 - Wed Jun 18, 08 There was a situation in LA, where this lady was neglected by ER staff at the Martin Luther King Hospital and she died. That reminded me of a situation at the hospital where I work part time, my job is in the pharmacy, help stock and deliver medication to the floors. I have no interaction with the patients what so ever, but one day I was hanging in the emergency room, and a man probably in his early twenties who attended a business school came in to er with chest pains. The doctor on duty, who in my opinion is an arrogant asshole, actually made fun of this person, said “what were you doing, typing when you got these pains, and he called me over and said look at this, and pointed out a few hairs the person had on his chest, and laughed about it to me, also made fun of the patients size, away from the patient but he heard the doctor say this, I’m sure “He’s kind of a weakling isn’t he, a little sissy, nothing wrong with his heart, other than it being small” The person actually had tears in his eyes, and some of the other nurses were just as bad, snickering along with the doctor. Finally, I think being so embarrassed he put his clothes on and walked out, the nurse at the station said “ The doctor hasn’t discharged you, if you leave sign this paper blah , blah blah. So the person signed and left. Fortunately all his test came back okay, the doctor said he probably got tired of typing and wanted a day off school. Alright, this doctor, imo, was not only making fun of him as a person , but making fun of his career choice, not all people can be doctors, and I felt like telling this arrogant jerk that, but didn’t. Maybe medical staff can tell when someone has real symptoms or faking, but as the LA case proved, sometimes you can’t, and maybe he did have chest pains, even if it’s indigestion, better safe than sorry. What is your opinion on all of the above? The doctor was right to treat him in such a way The doctor was wrong The doctor was a jerk The Patient was a jerk The patient was wrong to seek er help The doctor and nurses need a severe ass beating!
