the doc that i work for told a woman patient that he couldn't stand to look at her hair!!! then he went to a discoutn store and bought her a hat that he made the nurse give her. notice he didn't give it to her....i asked the lady how she felt about the hat and she said she hated it. then i asked a tech if she could braid her hair this weekend and that's in the works.......this lady worries about her appearance because she's had a stroke and one arm is smaller than the other and is bent up by her breast. we really aren't allowed to give the patients gifts and i can't give her a hug here........ideas?????and you don't have to tell me.....i work for an ***...he called me and the nurse over on friday and said that the way you tell crazy people from others in Oklahoma is by their hair and their clothes. I folded my arms across my chest and said, "i did not know that" and he didn't even catch my mild sarcasm..i heard the nurse snort and then i walked off.......keeping your self esteem intact at that place is a daily struggle....
