I'll see your 'Ohno' and raise you a 'Sweet jesus, I am so fucked'
I walked into the triage room to comfort a patient and consent her for a D and C. She had miscarried a very wanted baby and was sobbing and babbling incoherently, unable to sign the informed consent. I was mystified until the husband said, "The anesthesiologist gave her something to relax her."

Pissed off the berk had 1) given her drugs without finding out if she had agreed to the op and 2) made her ordeal longer since now we had to wait until they wore off and 3) made things far worse for the couple by removing any coping abilities she might have had, I blurted out, "What a moron."

Guess who was standing behind me? Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

As justified as I might have been, it is absolutely NOT DONE for the nurse to question or criticise a doctor. He yanked me out in the hall and gave me the bollocking of my life. I thought I was fired.
