Almost Killed a Nurse


My stomach is getting worse. After my appendix was removed a couple of months later I started having problems around my lower stomach area. It now has spread all over my stomach, but the worse area is the sides and lower part of my stomach.  
Once school ended I decided I should get it looked at. I went to my Gastro doctor where I live. It has been ten years since my last Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. To my surprise, she didn't even want to do the basic testing to figure out what is going on. She decided to send me to the University of Michigan Hospital's Gastro department. I was hot because she kept saying things like, "Graduating from college adds a lot of stress to your life." Basically, she told me its just stress and IBS. IBS is a catch-all. It is when a doctor doesn't want to deal with figuring out what is going on or has no clue what is going on they will diagnose it as IBS.  I wasn't happy at all.
        Saturday I drove from Grand Rapids, Michigan to the University of Michigan. I had a horrid nurse experience.  Please pardon my language. She poked me 8 times and I finally said, "I want someone else." She then goes on saying "If you don't have me do it then you won't be getting your CT Scan today." I replied crying and pissed off at the same time. I said to her, "I am not leaving this F**ing spot and I am getting this F** x-ray done right now. I didn't suffer for two days with the steroid prep for and drank the nasty shit to have to come back and do it all over again because you f**ing suck as a nurse and who won't call in someone else to do. If you leave this eighth needle in my arm and its not fully in the vein, which it isn't, and the contrast causes damages to my arm I will sue your ass. Not the hospital. YOU." She then pulls out the eighth needle, which was hanging out of my arm bleeding all over the place, and goes to get someone else. The CT Scan nurse cames in and gets in one try. Asshole nurse you should have called her in sooner after the third try when I asked you nicely. I am not a person that has a temper. I feel like I am such an evil person for getting so upset, but when you have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy it can be scary especially when I started feeling the RSD pain spreading into my arms. 

Have you ever had a bad nurse experience? Let me know make a comment.
