  • STUPIDITY


    Why are some peeps stupid?  I've been paging the nurse in charge of all the sexual abuse cases. In a span of 20 minutes, 2 incidents...I page...no call back. So I call her at home and ask "have you been getting my pages?". She response with "no" and I respond with "b/c I've been paging you..." 


    BEFORE I CONTINUE...if you heard that question what would your response be?


    Most people with half a brain would say "must be something wrong w/ my pager...I'll check it..maybe low on battery" or something like that...right??


    BUT NO...this nurse (mind you, I'm calling her at her house) responds with "well just call me at home" in an irritated tone...


    WHAT I WANTED TO DO: call her an idiot and say..wtf do you think I'm doing right now?? Calling you at work?? DUMBASS!!


    Instead I respond with "okay..that's what I'm doing..that's why I called you at home"..Not to state the freakin' obvious!!


    IDIOTS....


    Another thing..maybe I'm being rude...(but I don't think I am)...but if I get a call and the person starts talking and talking (i.e. like a doctor giving me info on the abused kid)....I interrupt that person...and tell them, I just need the following info. WHY?? B/c I don't need any more details...b/c s/he's going to repeat himself again..I'm definitely not going to be relaying that information given (too much details and no room to put in my paperwork)...the only room I have is the age of victim, name of vic, caller (we only accept police officer's calls --> the doc was lucky that I even talked to him, otherwise I'd refer him to call LAPD..but the officer was there...they know protocol..they should be the one calling...anyway)...that's all the info I need. Should the nurse need any other info it's up to her to call. Makes sense right? I'm being nice by not wasting that person's breath on me. But they take it as if I'm being rude...I'm not...and I'm not telling the caller to shut the f up..i'm just telling the caller that I just need such and such info...and that's it. Everything else is handled by someone else.


    Okay..nuff said.
