God some people are crazier than shit. Pathetic. I mean I sometimes watch people and think: what a miserable life you are living. You probably always will.
Some people are so pathetic. They are manipulative. They try to manipulate us thinking that we won't catch on. I had somebody today who I triggered my "uh oh" meter the minute they got there. They had an "edge" to them. Before long they were balling like a baby about how no one treated them fairly, blah blah blah. I decided that I wasn't going to respond to their obvious attempt to manipulate me with their drama. I just let go on til they figured out I wasn't going to feed into it and stopped. Sometimes the best thing that a nurse can do when someone is carrying on is to say nothing. Its like letting the air out of a baloon. These kind of people thrive on getting you tangled up in their drama.
Just what you need as the teeming masses come through the door with their flu symptoms.

Just saw a news story on national news regarding doctors NOT washing their hands -- in fact, the story says that doctors only wash their hands 9% of the time before seeing a new patient! Wondered if you had any input on this???

Hard to believe because these days we use alcohol foam to clean our hands. It is in the room and outside the room. Its so much more convenient than washing your hands. If anything, I would say compliance has gone way up.
