They’re so nasty I wish they’d be fired and the “scabs” hired on.
In my town, the nurses were on strike at the hospital.
The hospital is at the end of a short street and on the way there are doctors offices, diagnostic labs, a dialysis place, a convalescent home, etc.
I was on my way to Quest Diagnostics and when I turned the corner the nurses were starting to converge on my car.
The nurses were at the opposite end of the street from the hospital and they were trying to block traffic coming down the street even though most of the people coming down the street were not going to the hospital.
This was in the glory days of SEIU,Lord Zero,ACORN, etc.
Nobody in our family is going to this hospital unless we are bleeding out or in cardiac arrest or something.
Last time my husband went to the emergency room(different hospital)I watched 3 nurses attempt to install a picc line into his arm. It took them twenty minutes.
It made me think of that Leonardo DiCaprio movie “Catch Me If You Can” where his character posed as an airline pilot, a doctor and I forget what all. I thought these were people posing as healthcare workers.
While some people sing the praises of nurses as “the ones who do all the work” and hold them up as some kind of gender victims, I’d never leave a loved one unattended in a hospital for any period of time. Maybe they’re overworked, the shifts are too long, whatever; if you don’t have someone with a patient looking after them, they are ignored.
