What is this "do not touch" patient care all about? If this woman honestly thought I had the potential issues she stated, for me to go to the ER, she should have tested my teflexes,checked for a Babinski sign,,determined if I had sensation in my lower limbs, etc...NOTHING. Therefore, my interpretation was she did not want to provide any care. When she said, "I cannot do anything for you", I said "really? How many people come in here with back pain? I am a nurse and have hurt my back before. I have been to ortho guys who check the degree of flexion & extension of my back. If you cannot help me, I will find someone who is able to".

I Have to go to T now, woohoo!!

I may start another thread on "Do not touch" health care.
