Yin And Yang
Maybe there is something to this yin and yang thing. Our mean and nasty 500 pound lady finally left and was promptly replaced with one of the biggest bitches I've ever come across. At least the new bitch is slightly confused, so that management won't take her ridiculous complaints seriously.
She was upset that she had a 109 temperature and we were ignoring it. That was her systolic blood pressure, but she doesn't want to listen to explanations.
She refers to us as "you people" when talking to us, for example, "You people mistreat old people and you're not going to get away with it. I know a bigwig here and when she hears about you people you're going to be in big trouble." (This isn't an exact quote, I'm paraphrasing because I can't memorize long tirades.)
The old lady in the next bed called us angels. It's so strange that we are either labeled as angels or monsters depending on our patient assignment. Our behavior is the same, the only thing that changes is the patient.
The complaints go on endlessly and I'm so hoping that she heals quickly without complications. I want her out of here fast. I wonder what kind of nasty character will replace her.

just between you and me, i hope that when she gets discharged, she doesn't transfer to us :)
Dealing with the public can be a real pain. You seem to get the worst of worst.
May, even if you don't get her, you will get someone like her. There are enough people like her to go around.
Alan, that's for sure.
