Ive heard many Nurses say that too. As pts they felt so powerless and Nurses can be very clinical at times due to the workload. I always try to have a laugh with pts. The medical profession and mistakes !!!!Yesterday I met a lovely couple. He had his entire large intestine out twenty yrs ago and has had pain ever since. Bad pain. When it was removed the problem area was the size of a small coin!!!!!!

I have expressed much anger at the medical community. As a nurse, no longer able to work, I did not have any idea how awful it feels to be completely at the mercy of someone who seems clinical and uncaring. God help me if I have acted that way. If I don't allow posters to be who they are and describe their experiences, no matter what they are, then when I feel crappy and negative and seem so contrary, then who will listen to me??? we are all in this TOGETHER!
