Nurses

Today, after a psychologist appointment I decided to go and get some bandages to wrap my arm in, as I had done some work on it that night before...crazy night.
When I asked the ladies at the front for some; they were nurses/receptionists in the school dr office, they looked at me with that "look" people give you, its half disgusted and half accusing. Then one of the interns asked me what for, and I said for some wounds, and then another one came and said "WHAT FOR?!" And i said whay does it matter? And then she said "BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN GIVE IT TO YOU!" I was never so humiliated, another nurse came and took me into a back room. I couldnt hold it in anymore; I bawled like a baby. I felt so despised and gross and stupid and I imagine theyre all ridiculing me.
Has anyone here been mistreated by any medical professional bc they thought you were weird, or crazy, or stupid? It hurts so bad when people are repulsed by you for something you cannot help. I am reluctant to go back to the doctors office. Every one of the nurses were so mean and accusing for no reason. Im a softspoken girl, and I tend to be quiet and over polite, I am very sensitive to things like that. Are you? Someone answer plz, Ive been ignored all day.

Hi,

I had to edit the thread title.

I have not had such a bad experience with a nurse but I think that it depends on the nurse that you get. I mean, not all of them are going to act in this way. What you should do is just report the incident to the head-nurse or to the ward manager. Think your story out straight before you report it, however, because you don't want to go there and not get your point clearly across. However, what I would do is go back to the particular nurse that you talked to and talk to her calmly about what happened. There were arguably wrongs on both sides, and I think that recognition of that fact is important to be made. Whilst she might not have the mental capacity to be aware of self-errors, I'm sure that you are. People with mental problems can develop strong minds and be more self-aware than 'normal' people.

thats a horrible thing to have happened, do you think you could report them for it ? as i think that thats totally out of order xx

i dont want to even bother reporting it...my doctor was very sweet though, something i needed

do you have enough money to buy some yourself ? rather than go to the doctor i mean

im just not wating you to feel humiliated again x

Sorry for editing it Just Curious, but your second post tells me that the mere act of writing your first post provided you with some form of therapy. I mean, read your first and second posts and it's like reading one from Jekkyl and one from Hyde. I don't mean to be humerous, and am just making an informative analogy. Anyway, I'm happy to see that you're feeling okay now.
