So glad he's not near anymore of your people.<br /><br />Sending someone to stroke land just because a nurse asked if you could give some more sedative is truly cruel and inhuman.<br /><br />I have heard stories my husband Dahey tells me about when his father (an MD) almost killed a surgeon who was a similar a$5 to his mother after her surgery in a local hospital. This made me think of that, and what it must have took not to throttle him.<br /><br />Wow. Good for you.

And it was stuff that would be totally against policy. I was upset that none of the nurses did anything so I am glad to know there are nurses in the world with a backbone that can stand up for what they know is right! I hope in the real world of nursing with my own patients I can do that as well.
