Im a nurse.
Looked after a man yesterday who was "difficult".
He could not hear me properly because he had an oxygen mask on.
He kept mishearing my explanations to him and got annoyed at me.
I am quietly spoken and so i repeated my self and turned up the volume so that i was clearer and so that i though that he could hear me.
He kept saying to me "what?"
then he shouted at me..."stop shouting at me, i dont want you to shout at me".
I was not shouting but now i cant stop thinking about it, and i am worrying about it so much that i am going to go into work tomorrow (my day off) to write a statement about it in case he complains about me.
After 15 years as a nurse, i am so worried about people complaining about me...even tho i do my very best and have only had 1 complaint (10 years ago and it wasnt me as an individual that they complained about)
I am so paranoid about every single thing i do and say it really is so restrictive and stifles my work.
