I have something to say about people who have nothing better to do than tear people down.  I had a really stressful day at work on Sunday.  I can’t go into details but lets just say it was really horrific and sad.  Most of us have compassion and care a lot about our patients.  I say most of us.  I was in the CT suite holding a very frightened patient’s hand wearing at least 10 pounds of lead for at least an hour not to mention still getting a lot of xray exposure.  Then I had to deal with the Specials Team who was pissed because their Sunday was interrupted by a critically sick person…poor things!Somebody please shoot me if I get to be so selfish that I have no compassion for those who are in my care!  Please God never let me not be able to treat others the way I would wish to be treated.I digressed there a little sorry…Once I am finished helping the seemingly helpless Specials team I am finally free to go back to my other patient who has a whole bunch of orders for me to accomplish.  It’s 5:30pm  and the shift is supposed to be over at 7:00pm.   It’s soon time for report and I have a few simple things that have to be accomplished left and I leave them with the nurse who is taking over for me.  She didn’t like it at all and began stomping around.  She was acting very aggressive.  I said something to her and she completely ignored me and walked away.  This nurse then came back from the tube station with the medication that was missing and she threw it on the desk and said here it is…as though I didn’t give the medicine on purpose.  I have witnesses who saw me check the tubes at least 3 times before report time.Unfortunately this is not the first time she has acted this way toward me.  This person constantly tries to discredit me.  I have told my nurse manager about it today because I am fed up and I don’t think it’s my place to say anything to her.  I want the manager to be aware of the way she acts toward me.  I am also going to refuse to take her patients.  I don’t think I should have to put up with her abuse any more.Wish me luck.
