The Fight

I don't know what the fight was about because it was in Hebrew, I think. All I know for sure is that the stabbing victim patient was facing three men standing next to his bed and all of them were pointing their fingers at each other, while shouting f#$% you. With all four of them shouting that phrase in machine gun fashion, it sounded almost like a four-part harmony. Since their primary language was not English and their argument was in another language, I wonder why they used English obscenities.

The security guard went in the room to break up the fight, but they ignored him and kept yelling that special endearing phrase. Back-up was called and once there was a guard for each guest, they left. More than anything, I found the fight to be amusing, but my coworkers were scared and a couple of them hid.

We are all getting very tired of these people. The nurses have to take turns taking care of that patient because we need to share the burden. The patient's mother is difficult, demanding and impossible to please. When we called a surgeon with one more unreasonable request on her behalf, the surgeon said, "Tell him to grow up and tell his mother to shut up." The message was not relayed to the patient, unfortunately. That would have been fun to watch.

These are not high quality people and I'm not saying that just because they hang out with gangs. They didn't like one of their nurses so they wrote on a board in the room, "[P.] is a whore." They spelled the name out. I abbreviated it. If they did that to me, I would take a picture of it and sue them for libel. They better be careful who they defame. Their next nurse might be a lawyer.
