I had my tonsils removed at the VA hospital in 1974. The doctor was from Pakistan and I couldn’t understand half of what he said. I almost bled to death.
Later in my room I reamed an old nurse out and three old vets in the room with me said they were happy someone had told the old bitch off. They were treating people like pieces of you-know-what.
So this has been going on for years.
As a medical student in Chicago in the 80’s I met the WORST nurse of my life at the VA.
The first day on my medicine rotation she says “ You here for a couple of months I been here for 20 years, you don’t tell me nothing”.
She used to sit at the nursing station and smoke those thin brown little cigarettes and ignore any orders. At night the old bitch would tie down all the Vets in 4 point restraints on metal bed pans so she wouldn’t have to deal with them.
Every morning my intern would come in and she would announce in a loud voice so that the witch would hear “ Come on, lets free the slaves”.
We went to our attending physician to complain, and he told us he had tried for years to get her fired. At that time it would have taken almost an act of Congress to get that torturer fired.
I hope theres a special place in Hell where she is tied to a bedpan.
