"Lack of confidentiality"

I am a member of the community expressing concern over your staff, this isn’t the first time this has happened but I believe the remarks made by this one particular person left me shocked and I had to walk out of the shop I was at.

I was lining up behind a staff member, I found the comments the staff member made to the person with them were atrocious regarding what seemed to be a patient’s parent and the care they provided them, they laughed at wanting to walk out of their shift because the patient's hormones and wanted to sedate the parent and how annoying the patient was being to them.

What lead me to believe the staff member was a kids nurse was that they said they had cared for this feral child and their parent was brutally annoying and demanding, they were bought from ED on their shift and from the start they annoyed the staff member so bad they wanted to leave their shift. They went on to say they made another nurse do them obs for them so they didn’t have to tolerate them so much.

As an older parent myself, I would have hated to have someone dislike their job so much they whinge about their job outside of work looking after me.

I hope I don’t have to come to hospital and experience the care this nurse gave the poor child.

I stood there for about 15 minutes waiting for coffee whilst listening to them, in the end it just got too much and I had to leave.
