Must be bored...

I see this often and have yet been able to figure it out.

A patient will come into the hospital with a valid complaint. They do not appear to be looking for drugs (i.e. pain medication), cause lord knows we get that all the time. So we admit this patient with the valid complaint and begin the workup and consultations to specialists. Different studies are ordered and different medications are started. But here is what gets me... the patient refuses to go to the study/ exam (say an MRI). The patient refuses to take the medication. The patient refuses to have their blood drawn. The patient yells at the nurse whenever they enter the room or try to take a blood pressure. The patient complains endlessly about their original complaint.

Why do you come to the hospital at all if you don't want our care???

Guess what... you don't have to go to your study, take your medication, have your blood drawn, or have a nurse come into your room IF YOU STAY AT HOME.

Complain to your damn cat... they will take care of you the way you plan on letting us take care of you.
