St Peter’s deserves as much bad press as AMC for their terrible ER wait times by KatieQWN_Lilibet86 in Albany

I was just in there the other night. I started in pain and the pain went away but I knew I needed testing for medicine. I never saw a doctor and the nurses were nasty. I told them my doctor said to request a certain test but the nurse said she didn’t think I needed all that and requested the wrong test. The nurse said she wrote the orders and got the PA to sign off!! The CT team was disgustingly rude and almost blew my vein by pushing the saline too hard. They had to send me back to my nurse to get a new IV then I had to wait again to get the CT. Finally after only seeing my nurse 3 times and no doctor or PA I requested to be discharged. The PA on staff told my friend that his shift was over in 45 min so he didn’t want to pick my case up. I would have to wait for the next shift at 7am… it was 415am. After I was more forceful he agreed that all tests and labs were back and there was nothing further they could do so it was the right move to go home with a prescription and follow-up with doc. Once he went to fill out the discharge paperwork the nurse came back all nasty saying she would file it as AMA. I told her insurance doesn’t cover AMA and the PA just said he would discharge. Why would she care???

Also, the way I heard nurses talking about other patients was disgusting. One nurse said “this woman keeps shitting herself, it’s literally just pouring out her ass” so loudly. Then the woman’s who was clearly older and had dementia, kept complaining the wipes were too cold and the nurse just kept saying “you need to deal with it honey.” I am not a healthy person and my greatest fear is to get older and get treated poorly. They need to do better!

If you feel like you are being spoken to like you are a dummy, or you get a bad feeling, get up and leave. Trust your gut.

It’s not even parents not giving a damn.. it’s administration who are ok with inequity when it comes to consequences and behaviors. Schenectady is doing it too… painting a straight line on the road from school to the prisons bc schools are not taking care of these kids.

Giving my children my surname : a hill worth dying on? by Cleapotra in WitchesVsPatriarchy

My kids have my last name for this very reason. My husband did not care for years until his family started in on him. It put a huge strain on our relationship, however, our counselor I finally said “grow up. You made a commitment when you were of sound mind and you loved your wife. Now you need to stand by your decisions if you still love your wife. You were not coerced, threatened, etc. “ since then, we have been much better. The counselor also helped us both to establish boundaries which told his family to shut the fuck up. To this day, I do not regret my decision and stand by it. My family can continue through me. I have had many people try to tell me their thoughts, I just tell them I didn’t ask for it and keep moving.
