I remember seeing videos of these patients on tv back then. I have some idea of what you saw.
In this video they said that some dying from AIDS were “very cross and demanding”. This has something to do with it? I’d love to know more.
I was the administrator of the ER,not a physician or a nurse.I did everything but touch the patients.I don’t recall “cross” or “demanding”...possibly because the ones we saw were very,very weak and very,very seriously ill. Of course back then every night on the local and national news we saw stories in which they were demanding a cure,etc.
