Today, I got back to work at my hospital after some sick leave. The first jackass to waste my time was a guy with leg lacerations. This, he claimed, was because he tried to break a samurai sword over his leg as part of a bet. It's day one and already I want to kill myself. FML

All part of the business. Just be glad that you're far smarter than he is.

No matter where you work, you have to deal with (stupid) people who make stupid decisions. Either you do your job or quit. No point of whining when you are far better off than many others who do not even have a job.

They aren't put off indefinitely, genius, eventually they go in and hold someone else up. And the rest is implied. Hell, the gender's stated under the FML. Point is the patient's an asshole and the doc has every right to bitch about it on a site meant for bitching about annoyances.

36-exactly! No one understands it's dumbasses like this samurai sword guy that causes ER waits to be so long, and when it's you or your loved one laying on a stretcher in the hallway because they can't get you in a room yet because of retards like this, then you might understand the frustration of having to waste your time on an idiot when you could be using your time to help someone who isn't there as a result of their blatant stupidity.

Um ... you're there to treat people for their injuries. Not judge them. The rest will sort itself out, naturally. I see a Darwin Award in the leg slasher's future...

Wait till you treat all the guys who got hurt "Standing On the Corner, Minding my Own Business", a/k/a "SOCMOB". And the two most dangerous guys in the world are "This one dude" and his friend, "this other dude." Google "Things I learn from my patients", then go read. The ROFLCOPTER will be there shortly.

At least he didn't think he had an erection hard enough to break a samurai sword over. Might have made you need to kill yourself.

I'm guessing you are a nurse practioner based on the type of person you're dealing with. This is NOT the attitude to have working in a hospital. People are morons, you like in the US making the moron count even higher then usual. You said it was a part fo a bet, meaning there is an extremely high chance that he was either drunk or stoned when he did this, meaning that even if he did have some common sense before it was completely gone at that moment. Instead of being a jerk do your work with a possitive attitude. I ahve no idea if he was being rude or not to you, but the fact you said, "first jackass to waste my time" sugguests that you treat all the patients this way. Either learn to be more possitive and nicer towards people or find yourself a job where you wont be seeing so many accidents with stupid people.

Where is DocBastard when you need him???
