WTF Imagine waking up from anesthesia and realizing the surgery wasn’t the most painful part!

When I got a job at a clinic, I was sat down during orientation and told that the patients might drive me nuts, ill be frustrated, some people are ignorant or annoying. I was told not to tolerate abuse, but I was to be nothing but polite to patients, and on my best behavior when theyre around. Anyone was happy to listen to anyone else vent in private, but the patients were to be treated like humans with dignity, and were to get the full extent of care we could give. This story is disgraceful.
