You stop taking your meds. You feed your face. You continue drinking. You laze around or go to work or whatever the hell you do, until the grim reaper comes calling. And then you get to me, the ICU nurse.
Hey, I’m all for an adult beverage. There is nothing like a fabulous meal. Lord knows I’ve had my fun. But come on, people, get it together. You weigh 300, 400, 500-plus pounds? You’re on anti-depressants or blood-pressure meds, and you think it’s a good idea to just stop?
You’ve landed your ass in my ICU; if you want to live, act like it. Quit the whining, the crying, the passive-
aggressive manipulative behavior that got you here. I’d love to see you get well, but only if you want to. Otherwise, I don’t give a fuck. I’m not your cheerleading squad, I’m not your coach, and I’m not your fucking mother. So take a moment, get over yourself, and make the decision: Do I want to die? Because otherwise, you’re wasting my time and my other patients’ time. Right now, you’re just job security to me.
@94
nope, I totally disagree; gays are most definately in the same boat as fat people. If a gay person no longer wants to be gay, s/he can simply stop fucking people of the same gender!!
It’s actually easier to not be gay then it is to not be fat!
See, that’s the problem with gay people; this thread has NOTHING to do with your fucking gayness but you felt the need to put it out there anyway!! PLEASE GO DIE SOMEWHERE, YOU FUCKING QUEER IDIOT!!!
I do my best to be a good patent, Doing what the highly educated ,and trained medical professionals told her to do has kept my Flapper grandmother dancing into her mid 90’s. Mom doing the basic Md. advice traded her Harley for scuba gear in her 80’s.Dad, and Me both agree it doesn’t matter if the person saving your life is nice, sweet, kind, or feels for me..let them have an ego so big they just don’t loose patents…Some fundamentalist raving about how Prayer, or faith saved them from a life time of fast food, and knowing more about their cars than their bodies.. when in truth it was a nurse, doctor, or other medico that saved your life. In public health it’s just a matter of good citizenship to keep healthy.
@102, learn how to spell definitely before you call other people idiots. It’s not a fuckin’ typo; A and I are not next to each other on the keyboard. If you could actually read, you would notice that I was not responding to the I, Anon- I was responding to someone else’s comment. This is a COMMENT board after all, and sometimes the discussion might veer.
Also, it should be THAN, not THEN. Seriously- don’t call other people stupid when you can barely articulate your thoughts using what I assume is your first language. But I will go die now, as you have given me the ultimate smackdown!
@100, I do think it’s wrong to hate fat people, but they still piss me off. It’s not something I’m proud of. I agree with what you’re saying- I was just responding to one person who was comparing the bigotry towards gays and fatties. I don’t think there IS a comparison; that’s all I’m saying. I think a lot of hatred towards gays stems from fear, and I think a lot of hatred towards fatties stems from disgust (unfair or not) and from a society that often touts physical beauty above all else. The other commentator was speculating on WHY there is such hatred, often totally acceptable, towards fatties, and I was offering my two cents. I think people hate what they fear (gays), and also what disgusts them (fatties). My negative feelings towards fat people definitely are not good or right- but I’m just being honest and trying to explain why I feel that way, and maybe that explains why others do too.
Loved this IA. Finally something that really got people talking. Also, I get why it’s frustrating, but hey, it’s what we call natural selection. The people who cannot function end up leaving the gene pool in one way or another.
@104
That’s funny…. I know more than a few people who hate gays and fear is not one of the reasons mentioned when they’re asked why they hate them. Thinking that their behavior is DISGUSTING is a reason. Why would anyone fear a Homosexual? People fear the unknown, not much is mysterious about Homosexuality. People are judgmental assholes. That’s it.
Gays may or may not be disgusting, I personally don’t think so, seems like the rude opinion of an asshole to me. Just like the opinion that fatty fat fats are disgusting.
Some people really should do the world a favor and kill themselves… Hopefully you’re not reading this because you did the world a favor. =-)
Slitting my wrists now. Damn you, Hate.u.fucking.idiots and your vicious words! You really know how to bring a person down with dazzling logic and razor sharp insults. *weeps*
Get another job bitch.
If you think they a fat in Seattle come on down to Arkansas. It’s worse. One guy brought in from Hurricane Katrina was so fat they couldn’t get out of the ambulance (he stayed in it). One frequent flier had to have a special double wide ambulance to transport him. And, as soon as he got to the ER his wife wanted him fed?!?!?! Speaking of double wides you should see the bedside commode. We also don’t have enough staff to transport these pts. Look I’m no skinny minny myself but I don’t have to have special tax payer equipment to live.
@87 If she (or he, but let’s face it, most likely she) didn’t give a shit, you wouldn’t be reading this letter. If she didn’t give a shit, she wouldn’t care if people self-destructed. Hell, if she didn’t care, she’d want MORE people to end up in the ICU! Like she says, they’re job security!
Thank you stranger for publishing in I, Anonymous the conservative bullshit screed that I have been spamed with on facebook and in my e-mail box for the last year. Really original. ICU Nurse or should I call you ER doctor, or ER nurse as you are always giving yourself a different title to make your pathetic little life seem meaningful.
