Any medical student who deliberately injures a patient should be expelled permanently from medical school. No excuses.

Any physician who deliberately injures a patient should have his license to practice medicine permanently revoked. No excuses.

I agree! A year or so back I had to have a surgical biopsy done for breast cancer.

Well, the nursing staff kept looking at me in a weird way, like I had offended them or something, yet I had done nothing at all except check in!

The nurse who set my IV made 3 tries before getting it right, and she seemed to be real cool with that. THEN she went up behind me to the IV bag, and next thing I know I yelp right out in sudden pain. She cheerfully said that she “had to clear the line” by squeezing the bag. Now, I have had many dozens of IVs and not ever has any nurse done something like that. Anyway, I didn’t say anything about it, and a few minutes later that bitch did it again! After I got home I noticed that 2 of the IV “tries” were not even close to the vein. Not close at all.
