And I couldn't explain to her I alawys give the clinic phone number for directions because they are far from me and I've never been there. But every time I tried to talk she screamed at me "SHUT UP I AM STILL TALKING AND YOU"RE GOING TO LISTEN." See and now I'm in a rage. It's harder and harder for me to deal with this. I need to do something else but what can I do? I'm trapped here.

I work as a Registered Nurse and have to deal with family members on a daily basis. Yesterday a family member called, cursing me out because their loved one wasn't picking up the phone in their room They insisted the phone was broken and that I go and fix it.
I politely told them "I don't work for AT&T" and hung up!
