I don't think you should have to rationalize one simple word, it is your blog - whine if you want to. Bu tit is nice to see you give the people who did help you a shout out.<BR/><BR/>I would like to point out that there are more then Nurses and Doctors in a hospital that do "the work" though it seems like every other profession gets forgotten or lumped into "Nursing" (which to some people in medicine it as hurtful being called a Nurse as it is for a Canadian to be called an American by a foreigner - we all take extreme pride in our individual profession). It could just as easily been a crabby booking clerk that ruined your stay (because our booking clerk is That. Nasty. to people). <BR/><BR/>-with love from the BioMedical Engineer and Polysomnographer - just another medical caregiver.Sleepynitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213360493533547801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578794009671354856.post-86751874986162291232008-03-12T18:04:00.000-06:002008-03-12T18:04:00.000-06:00David,I am very proud of your comment!

Whether it be about a cashier, a teacher,a doctor, the doctor.etc....<BR/> When I was a cashier customers could be very rude and take it out on the employee. But there are many cashiers that are rude to the customers. It doesnt make one more right than the other.<BR/> My daughter is having problems with her teacher( as are many other children in her class}. Should I not vent about this one women for all the other great ones.NO,just because I find her inadequate doesnt mean my daughter hasnt not had some wonderful teachers.<BR/> If you cant vent here, then where?mamatuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369748674169088295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578794009671354856.post-39096049182481978582008-03-12T16:31:00.000-06:002008-03-12T16:31:00.000-06:00oops, I should have said "never" disrespectful.oops, I should have said "never" disrespectful.Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578794009671354856.post-49830374104873070812008-03-12T16:28:00.000-06:002008-03-12T16:28:00.000-06:00Anna, wow, I haven't been around in a few days and...Anna, wow, I haven't been around in a few days and look at the furor.<BR/>I guess it's one of the downfalls of blogging. I too, like Beachmama, am annoyed that you felt the need to explain your vent, as even though it is a public space, it still is the one authored by you, about your life. If people don't like it, they don't have to read it. Anonymous comments do annoy me too; to your point lisa, coming back and commenting and putting a name does, at least in my eyes, give a little more respect, credence in the blogosphere. The other way just seems like people are hiding, while the blogger is so exposed.<BR/><BR/>And obviously Anna, you had been under a lot of stress, with young children, in a very short period of time. Let me ask those nurses who felt slighted whether they've never, even in their minds, thought that someone was "stupid" during periods of frustration and feeling disrespected themselves. I myself have huge respect for nurses (my mother is one); but like any profession, there are good and bad, and some that are better suited to other professions.<BR/><BR/>I'm a huge fan of your blog, and was shocked by the recent activity. I don't find that you whine much at all, you have such a cheery atmosphere on your blog and are rarely disrespectful. I guess it's easy for people who haven't been following you to take a single post at face value.<BR/><BR/>And Dave, you rock. What a great husband and father you are. Anna is truly fortunate.Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578794009671354856.post-79666548718300852652008-03-12T12:11:00.000-06:002008-03-12T12:11:00.000-06:00Anna,I posted yesterday and made comment #8, the l...Anna,<BR/>I posted yesterday and made comment #8, the list. <BR/><BR/>My name is Lisa, I don't see what difference it makes giving my name, for I am still anonymous in your eyes. <BR/><BR/>This is your blog and you are entitled to vent. It is also a public blog and anyone can read it and make comments. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday a young Mother that is battling brain cancer had to have her third surgery. She had to have her forehead removed due to the bone being infected to the point it was rotting and causing her 24/7headaches. They grafted from her back. It will be MONTHS before her forehead can be rebuilt.<BR/><BR/>A young Father lost his beloved Wife late last year to breast cancer and is raising 3 young children. <BR/><BR/>My Best friend is battling skin cancer that has spread and her time is limited. <BR/><BR/>I normally enjoy reading your blog but there was something you said yeserday that struck a cord in me. Please accept my apology. <BR/><BR/>Please try to let the little stuff go and enjoy what you have, you are blessed. <BR/><BR/>The young Mom that had her forehead removed yesterday......I don't know how to word it but I want to say that is "hell and back"....although she is a long way from back. <BR/><BR/>Please do not take what I said personally. <BR/><BR/>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578794009671354856.post-59979728875329433632008-03-12T10:25:00.000-06:002008-03-12T10:25:00.000-06:00Anna!

Most nurses are amazing, but I still remember being in the hospital overnight at 2 1/2 years old, and crying for my mommy, and having a nurse tell me to "Shut up. You're not even that sick." In retrospect I can see that she was probably overworked, and dealing with children much worse off than me, but for that memory to stick in my mind....stupid nurse.Badness Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660823596302637985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578794009671354856.post-37509852698610663322008-03-12T07:37:00.000-06:002008-03-12T07:37:00.000-06:00You just go on being Anna, the wonderful Mother an...You just go on being Anna, the wonderful Mother and wife!

Just went back to read it all. I'm shocked at how many people have things to say but can't bring themselves to put their name to it ...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think this post clearly explains that you didn't intend to insult all nurses, and you have focused on some of the wonderful, positive experiences you had too. Which is great! They sound like wonderful caring workers. <BR/>You are still right about not deserving to be spoken to rudely by those other nurses. Nobody deserves that.<BR/>I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you were "venting". You were tired and upset, and of course you are going to be thinking mostly about the bad things and not the good. But given a couple of days, some time to think, some hindsight, and you've come to remember the nice things and shared them too. <BR/>So chin up, my dear! You've been through hell and back and I can only imagine how stressful it all was for you. I do hope that you're feeling a lot better now and that the kids are still doing well.<BR/>(((Hugs)))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
