Today, my patient had her call bell on. When I went to see what she needed, she replied that she was very itchy and could not reach to scratch the itch. I basically got called in to scratch my patient's crotch. FML

So you're upset that some poor woman was so uncomfortable that she had to swallow her pride and press a button to get someone else to scratch a private area? Perhaps patient care is not the right field for you. F HER life, and grow up OP

ruberduckie 94.hopefully you get this since I can only leave single comments from my phone. I was in the hosputal for child birth. I needed sleep and all they let me have was 6 hrs in 4 days so yeah I asked for everything no matter what time it was. why don't you go back to your bitter job and wait on your patients cuz sometimes people in pain need that.

I used to work as a private duty/home health RN for a patient who had ALS. He was on vent (i had to read his lips when he spoke-not easy!) paralyzed, but could still feel sensation (ALS attacks the motor neurons but sensory neurons remain intact) so I had to glove up and scratch him plenty of times. Sure it's not fun to have to do, but put yourself in your patient's place.

Don't be such a heartless person; think about how embarressing it must be for her. Bring in such a bad state, that she has to call for someone else to scratch :/
