I would never say what your brother thinks that would cause a major problem. I could get killed or the shit beat out of me.

Very good that you don't swear, and that you can leave them until they behave according to your standards (they must not be that sick), still I work at many ER's and your experience is very out of the ordinary. And the next time a drunk guy that's assaulted someone else to near death swears at me, I'll quote your brother to him and hopefully he won't come back and shoot me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20390026.post-49422702634553008072009-01-28T09:40:00.000-08:002009-01-28T09:40:00.000-08:00Yeah, there is nothing you can do for the messed u...Yeah, there is nothing you can do for the messed up ones.

I never cursed before working in the ER, but I curse like a sailor now. In the last month I have been screamed at that I'm an F-ing b and c... some of our staff have been threatened to the point of needing heightened security measures... I'm determined to slow down my potty mouth. Regardless of the kindness I have displayed and courtesy I have requested (e.g. "There's kids here, they do not need to hear that kind of language"), some people are just too messed up to care.<BR/><BR/>~HRAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20390026.post-49153521961002618072009-01-25T17:46:00.000-08:002009-01-25T17:46:00.000-08:00Sorry to ruin your theory, but I work in the ER an...Sorry to ruin your theory, but I work in the ER and I don't swear.<BR/><BR/>For that matter, most of my patients are very receptive when I politely ask them not to swear.
