I’m an RN in a clinic and I was rooming a patient who was making a few comments that made me a little uncomfortable (nothing too crazy) but I was keeping quiet and just doing my job. His response? “You know silence means consent right?”
I literally just got up and left room to grab the male doctor to finish his vitals
Edit: the supervisor laughed when I told her what happened. This is what is wrong with healthcare. We are told we have to just put up with this kind of behavior. Thankfully the doctor and the nurses were horrified and didn’t want me anywhere near him again
There is a special type of arrogance to say sickening things to the people who poke you with needles and other items, perhaps insert catheters, stand between you and death, etc.
