I know a-holes and crazies have always existed, but i feel like society caters to their BS a lot more these days than ever before. In, say, the 1950s, do you think they would have shown up more than a handful of times for BS calls? Nowadays they just keep coming.

Sad thing is, the one time you don’t show up she’ll be actually having a problem, and she’ll get a lawyer and sue.

In my time at one hospital working ER and ICU, there were a couple of black ladies who made the cycle of every hospital in the Charleston area with stroke symptoms.

They both had mimicking the symptoms perfectly, both got TPA multiple times at each hospital because they didn’t want the liability of not giving it the one time they needed it.

Had other people come in faking strokes, heart attacks, abdominal pain, lots of wrangling for ways to get pain meds.
