I am lucky that I haven't had an encounter with any nurse as rude or seemingly inept as this. There are a couple of nurses at the hospital I frequent who I know are abrupt and seemingly impolite but I have come to accept that it is the way they are. I have also come across some nurses at other hospitals who look at you like you've just be removed from the bottom of their shoe and don't even bat an eyelid when you hand over never mind listen. This is the reaction that really annoys me, at the end of the day we all have a job to do. What ever happen to manners and common politeness?!
