Indeed you are. I don't believe anyone is denying you that right. Free speech and all that? However, you're perhaps a little TOO free of speech? THAT is objectionable. YOU were a nurse, was that charge nurse, staff nurse, sister, matron, OR simply a nurse, and for how long? Splendid, hands-on job, but NOT a doctor, even LESS, a consultant with untold YEARS of hands-on experience.
Many many years a nurse ( SRN ) who worked alongside consultants. Enjoyed every minute of it too.
As for the " free speech " that was taught/learned many years ago when being honest with our patients was key if/when they wished to have their questions answered,depending on the mental attitude of the patient.
I don't now feel that diplomacy is called for in certain cases where a person/people have consistently berated me in some way and continue doing so,especially when peddling their tales elsewhere.
Anyone's patience would be stretched/tested in such circumstances and because you've never experienced such dross on a daily basis,you can't be the judge of it can you ?
Values in life have changed dramatically as has the so-called democracy that was once present when we didn't have the nonsense of being " politically correct " ,which is miles away from free speech.
" Free speech " seems to have a different meaning in your world ? There's that ( filth ) which is on red aimed at ME,then there's the free speech which I use on here ? So kindly tell me the difference.
