And in this case, it seems to have annoyed the parent rather than keep them calmer/more comfortable, which is unfortunate. But there was likely a lot more thought behind the decision than is being appreciated. I could definitely be wrong, and the NP definitely could have been a moron. But most of the "morons" I have met in my short time in medicine are pretty smart people who simply forget or choose not to take the time to explain why they are treating the patient the way that they do. The majority of the rest are just caught on the wrong end of a no-win situation where they're held responsible. And yes, there are a few genuinely moronic people who I do not understand how they have the job that they do. They've been the minority in my limited experience.

Yeah well she was very quick to call the woman who is spending her Christmas Eve caring for sick people at the hospital instead of home with her family a "bitch that was dumb as frick". Those parents typically just want to blame someone else for their frustrations.

To be quite honest, I find those parents hard to blame. It's much nicer to have someone to blame than to sit down and think "sometimes, life just kind of sucks, and there is nothing that anyone can do about it." And they usually can't put themselves inside the head of the person taking care of them- they just don't have experience with what the job really is or how it really works.
