Blog 122 – Gathering Rosebuds …by Ms Paige Turner MSt (Cantab)
I had a Hepatitis A jab last week for my much anticipated trip to Kruger where I plan to take a much overdue break watching elephants brunch on Bushwillows.
The nurse said to me when jabbed, “There. That will last you twenty five years.” She then looked at me and said. “So you shouldn’t be needing any more of those.”
I’m lost for words.
I think that “bedside manners” is not included in nursing degrees. And doesn’t it show?
Ha! There’s a challenge for you. A target to meet. Book your appointment with that nurse now … and add a side bet that the one who doesn’t turn up for the appointment pays for the others funeral.
Actually this is one of the most appalling things I’ve heard in ages. I think you should definitely make a complaint to the Practice Manager, to stop that individual making stupid comments to other patients.
