Today, my wife was in seemingly never-ending labor. It got so bad, I overheard a nurse in the doorway mutter to a coworker that she hoped my baby would just die or something, so she could finally go take a smoke break. FML

wtf i hope you reported her and that she lost her job ! doesnt matter how long your wife is in labour for , that nurse should be doing her job and looking after your wife not wishing your baby would die so she could have a smoke. if a nurse said that to me while i was in labour i would be demanding a new nurse after i had given that one a piece of my mind since hitting them is illegal.

are you crazy ?! the mother wouldnt of gone through 9 months of pregnancy and then a painful labour is she wanted her baby to die . **** some people dont think before they speak!

Oh my god I would have demanded to speak to her supervisor! That is SO unprofessional!

idk how its done up there but had u been in America you be very much capable of taking care of your family with no worries after she pulled that crap. what a **** she was

I think you should report the nurse to her manager to your doctor and to the manager of the of that hospital wing. and make sure she can never work with children again. Someone like that shouldn't be allowed to be around babies. what if one has special needs it'll probs be too much work for her to care whether the blood sugar test was oh kay and she probs BSes tons of things on her job but ppls lives are on the line and she shouldn't be allowed to be a nurse for babies. maybe she could wash old ppl in the tub no she'd probs drown them. she should just work at a freaking envelope factory. just folding envelopes. that way no one will get hurt.

To anyone who has a medical professional of any kind say/do something like this, my advice to you, as the offspring of a nurse, is the following. 1: Get person's name. 2: Ask persons coworker to speak to supervisor (in a hospital, this is likely to be a charge nurse, which are assigned roughly 1 to a floor) 3: Keep going up chain of command until you get results. Some of you might be thinking 'isn't that a little over kill?' My answer to that is not just no, but hell no it isn't. Logic being that anyone in the medical field is supposed to alleviate suffering, however possible. Whether by explaining the issue or process until the patient understands, being physical or emotionally supportive, or the more common things that come to mind. What both the OP and post 58 said violate this, and the part of the Hippocratic Oath- "Above all else _do no harm_" - this doesn't just mean not to hurt the patient by physical means, but through ANY means. It doesn't matter if she'd had a bad day, or was tired of working where she did or as she did, what she'd seen and done, _nothing_ justifies mistreating a patient.

Well she'll get it in the end when she gets cancer and dies at 55. Hope your kido is in good health! Happy Babyness!!!!

Report her! That is just so ... No word can describe that. What kind of human being has that kind of mindset and works in that field nonetheless? My mother is a charge labor/delivery nurse and if anyone in her unit said anything like that. She'd have their ass thrown out on the street faster than they could blink.

Who said op deserved it? Really, how was he to blame in any way?
