I have been yelled at by nurses on psychiatric wards. During my last stay, a nurse tech yelled at me for not coming out to get my dinner. I asked her if she would get away with that tone of voice on any other unit of a hospital. She wouldn't. I understand nurses have to kick some patient's butts to get them up and moving around. I wasn't one of those patients. This nurse tech hadn't read my chart to see that I was supposed to be eating outside my room and that my food tray was to be brought to me. She screwed up and I paid for it.
After that day she treated me with disdain every time she had to deal with me.
On no other floor would she get away with that kind of behavior.
