unrelenting, continuous, loud, right to your face verbal abuse, insinuating you overdosed the patient, pointing his fingers right to your face, claiming he is going to sue me and the hospital.
I froze, because this is the first time something like this happens to me, my ears hurt.
I don’t know how long I stayed there, completely still because I didn’t know what else to do. At some point I stopped listening to him and simply walked away to a restroom. Miraculously, he didn’t follow me. I was ready to punch him if he touched me.
Out of the workplace, if somebody acts like that I either walk away or answer back or defend myself physically, should it escalate. Enduring that level of verbal abuse is something nobody enjoys, nor is something I am willing to tolerate.
The rest of my shift wasn’t funny. Incident was reported.
Could you elaborate on this sentence? How exactly are they fortunate? The fact that it’s the first time is fortunate?
Sorry, I don’t understand. This was a horrible experience by the sound of it.
The implication is that they’re lucky it isn’t their 30th or so.
I know.
I’m trying to say I don’t subscribe to that kind of thing where’s it’s like “oh you have this problem? Consider yourself lucky that is isn’t tEn TiMeS wOrSe.”
Nah man, let people be upset about their problems. It’s okay to be upset. We should be here to just listen sometimes, instead of trying to fix people’s problems and emotions all the time.
