If OP doesn't come back and clear some things up soon, I'm gonna start to think maybe he IS an ass O:
I was called an ass at work
- Thread starter Morrison71
- Start date
- Status
I heard my share of hospital stories in my life and sincerely you sound like a person that i would not have an ounce of respect for.
So instead of learning from the experience as well as not listening to your coworker you did something that you admit didn't turn out the way it should... it only probably turned out fine (that shouldn't be something you are ok with when it comes to treating people that it maybe turned out fine but sounds like you know it could not have). And at worst some one had to be poked again... as some one who is phobic of needles that sounds incredibly flippant (oh well, patient had to get another poke, it's fine and I shouldn't have to be criticized. If I had to be restuck with a needle by some one and learned that was his attitude you bet your ass I'd be complaining to your managers. It's one thing to make a mistake, but to be flippant about it and act like you don't even care how your patient feels about it... ).
Honestly, even from what you say including talking about how you don't respect her but admitting she knows more than you... this sounds like this is coming from some one who is inexperienced and is resentful of people calling him out on it rather than eager to learn how to be better. So, yeah, sounds like your co worker might be right.
I worked in the medical IT field for yeeeeaaaars and even when it came to getting their tablets or CIM setups running smoothly and keeping EPIC and the rest of the EMR accessible with little downtime - we were constantly told that our actions had direct consequences to peoples attitudes, experience and health. Like.. you work in a hospital or a clinic or whatever and you're gonna say "Eh if i really did mess up the only thing it might do is make someone who has potentially already gone through days or weeks of rough procedures and almost definitely bad/tough news and decision making. They are trying to get what little bit of peace inside sleep as they can and because this ASSHOLE can't listen to someone who he admits knows more than he does - that little bit of peace and rest is interrupted. For what?
For nothing cept this dudes ego or whatever. I'm surprised he hasn't been pulled aside by a team leader or supervisor at this point and straight up told off. This kinda shit would not fly in my hospital.
You don't respect her. And it seems like in this situation, you were wrong. It ... sounds like you are being an ass?
oh my god you've cracked the code, this is scrubs if it starred the cast of evangelion
So you don't like her or respect her. You haven't listened to her advice in the past and you've even talked down to her despite her having more experience. You made a minor mistake involving going back to get something from a patient. She called you an ass.
I mean, I'm not sure what you're looking for here. Aside from that being an unbelievably mild insult, it sounds like you're pretty arrogant and dismissive towards her and you probably were acting like an ass?

Our story began with our OP Morrison71 regaling everyone with a tail of workplace strife.
Morrison's post was very lacking in detail, and teetered more towards the stream of consciousness style of posting. All we really knew was that Morrison ignored some instructions from a senior co-worker, a poor patient wound up being stuck with a needle more than they needed to, co-worker called Morrison71 an insult, he doesn't know how to deal with it, and curse words are a big no-no and will most certainly result in a timeout. It's even more confounding because Morrison seems to... agree with this person? Yet is still angry about it, because... cussing? It was all very muddled at the moment.
He posted a couple more times, but only added to confusion by defending his abilities in the workplace and not actually addressing the specifics of this dramatic event. Many posters were annoyed, but, unfortunately, Morrison has yet to return and clarify the story with any helpful details. He's no doubt busy informing his supervisors that this woman called him an... Well... She called him an... [whipser]A-S-S.[/whisper]... Please don't tell on me. I can't go back to prison.
The only real additional info came when those daring GA--.... Era...Detectives found another post of him complaining about likely the same co-worker as well as one where he made some less-than-ideal statements about the medical field in which he works.
There seems to be an ongoing conflict with Morrison and this co-worker, and it's possible that she truly is in the wrong somehow... But, Morrison has done a fairly terrible job at demonstrating that. It has been made all the more confusing due to Morrison's admittance that he is largely to blame in every occurrence. What is apparent, however, is that Morrison once yelled at this woman because she was conflicting with his possible 15-minute break while she herself was busy with her own work--which, while understandably frustrating, does seem a bit... "eck" in a medical professional. Especially one dealing with newborns.
The rest of the thread has been mostly a bit of genuine constructive criticism directed towards Morrison71, as well as bit of ribbing here and there.
Will Morrison71 provide us with more details? Will this thread stay unlocked long enough for me to actually post one of these things? Will somebody else get called an... "a"-word?
Let's find out.
Normally, I'd wait until a new page, but this is the third time I've started one of these things and had the thread locked before I could post it, so...
You're probably aware, but hospitals have a disproportionate amount of workplace violence compared to most other places of work, which is why they usually have annual training about it and very strict policies regarding behavior and reporting behavior. If you're in the same shoes as me (healthcare IT, but we all have the same training and policies) you're required to report her outburst.
GLORIOUS!!! :)

This line really highlights your lack of empathy which is is vital in your line of work. Perhaps you should look into another line of work because if you keep carry on behaving the way you do, you're gonna get fired.
If you're not that good in drawing blood then ask your superior for help rather than being a stubborn idiot and causing patient distress.
Imagine a world where calling your horrible co-worker an "ass" is an "outburst".
YEEEEEEES!!! I’ve missed these!!!!

My sister works in the NHS as a lab assistant in various departments. She told me about an incident today from a person who's been in the job for 15 years, but their minor bout of laziness had to lead to a blood sample being discarded from testing and the patient would have to have the blood taken again. All she had to do was write a patient's details on a test tube so it could be matched up with the patient's info on the sticker on her sample. That was it. Rather than do that she decided to take the sticker off the sample - so no info was on it - and put that on the test tube. She then went to lunch and didn't bother telling anyone. My sister had no choice but to mark it as a problem because, while it's 99% certain that they belonged together, that 1% chance could lead to a misdiagnosis, or a patient being put on medication that could harm them. She then decided to cop an attitude with my sister, saying that it better not be marked down as an incident against her...all because she was too fucking lazy to do her job properly after 15 years when my sister, who's only been on the job for 5 months, knows this shit better than her.
It's a similar attitude to that displayed by the OP. Assholes who think they don't need to listen to other people, don't need to follow procedures, and can't accept that they fucked up.

I'm just trying to stop someone from possibly taking a syringe in the neck.
Holy shit, you called him an asshole in that thread.
OP is a master-class clown. Just be a better person, man. You got some improvement to do.
I thought you were sneakily trying to get him disciplined tbh.
Because your assumption is that the other person is unreasonable, and they're at fault, since the OPs story is completely credible, fully detailed, and clearly shows she's at fault, and not the OP since, he's just so credible.
I can already see OPs next thread:
Work colleague is a real pain in the neck, what do I do?

Made my night. Man, I miss your posts.
I was once called a "Cunt bucket" at work by a work collegue. Didn't find it offensive in the slightest. Instead i was rolling around with laughter because it sounds funny as fuck and i never heard that one before.
