I can't believe that happened...so rude. I'd definitely make a huge fuss about it now. Just let them know you were so embarrassed at the time that you were just speechless and had no idea what to say - you just wanted to get out of there. I'd actually want to go back up there and not only talk to the doctor in person but tell that nurse exactly what I thought about her as well!  |
You're right-as a healthcare provider, if she felt she needed to say something, she could have worded it differently, saying something like, "Ok, your weight is XXX-that's up a bit from last time, and I'll make a note of it because the doctor will want to watch it closely" or something...but I think that's really up to the DOCTOR, not the weight/temp/blood pressure nurse!
