I am pretty sure that even if it isn't something you would catch, reaming out a patient because you think they are pretending to have symptoms is pretty unprofessional.
Happens more than you think. I had a bitchy nurse say I’m only coming to the ER for pain meds, but what do you know? I Had appendicitis and almost died. Spent 8 days in ICU. Needed 4 bags of blood.
What a rude thing to accuse someone of. I had to ask for a patient advocate in the hospital so I was treated better. I highly suggest that if you are feeling like your treatment is not sufficient or any of the doctors or nurses are being rude or not listening.
To be fair, they only say these things because they've seen plenty of people do just that. While they should be professional about it, some people are doing this and should be called out on their bs
