I went into hospital yesterday for a hernia op.
The Anaesthetist sat on my bed, read my notes then said "you're a bit like me, on the porky side".
I was stunned. I didn't know what to say as I didn't expect to be spoken to like that!!
After what seemed like a lifetime, I eventually said "I've lost 2 and a half stone. In fact, I've lost 2 stone 8 and a half pounds". He asked what that was in kilograms and when I told him I didn't know, he said "I only deal in kilograms!!" then he walked away.
I thought what a rude sod. How dare he speak to a patient like that. I was SO angry. I didn't want to say anything as at the end of the day, this is the guy with a big needle.
Just thought I would share this with you, as I am sure you have all experienced rudeness at some degree.
Why do people have to be so nasty?
