I Have Found The Cure For Ptsd

Oh my goodness!!!!! The ignorance knows no end.

*Laugh out loud* aw that was funny.

*facepalm* That sadly sounds like something that would happen here. I'm glad you have a sense of humor about it monster! Serious side definitely file a complaint. Ignorant idiodcy, stress related or not, has no place in a hospital setting.

Ohhhh so that's where I should go when I need comfort and reassurance? Awesome! Do they show you exactly how to shake? ...'cause I'm a shakin' and nothing seems to be happening.

We should all write them a letter.

We should all write them a letter.

Good idea! Please give us the address and I will write too! I have to know how to shake it the right way, because I'm shaking to, and it's not working. I must be shaking the wrong way..

I know right. Some people just don't give a damn. Think it's always as not as bad as people say it is because they can't relate at all. Shaking does absolutely nothing. It doesn't relieve the stress in PTSD or maybe even regular stress too. She probably thought it would help but she has no idea what we're going through or even what PTSD is. I mean yeah PTSD is in fact stress and a lot of it but you can't just shake it off. It's Post-Traumatic meaning it carries on later. That nurse or whoever it was needs to be fired for lack of intelligence.

You're absolutely right! :) But I was kidding.. ;) - But actually "shaking my body"(in a way I can't describe) can actually help a bit when I'm having a flashback or intrusive memory. But it does not cure PTSD! :mad:

After reading your post, I shook for 22 minutes. It was hard, but I did it. I feel like a million bucks. Well, I don't need this place anymore. Goodbye everyone!

What. An. Idiot.

I read this thread, then I had dinner and went shopping. Now I feel ready to come back and call the nurse an idiot. I hope you feel better soon and file a complaint.

That nurse could go on to shake it professionally if she loses her hospital job over this! I hear there's places with poles who hire people to shake things...

 

[aka]

She told me everyone has stress, but if I got through nursing school and worked as a nurse, then I needed pull myself together and get out of here (the ER).

So anyone who made it thought nursing school should be imperious to the effects of trauma? Like graduation gives you special powers or something.

She told me that all of the nurses there were stressed too, over 100 were being laid off, and I didn't see them in here did I?

So in other words other people have problems too so why can't you deal with yours. I really do hate when people use analogies that compare apples to oranges and then say there both apples.

I reminded her I had PTSD, and she said its just stress

Just stress? How would she know that? I mean yes stress is a part of PTSD but there is a lot more to it. This nurse is extremely ignorant to what PTSD is and doesn't seem to have any compassion for the patients she treats.

See ya tomorrow Franciemarnie! Or maybe later ;)

I quadruple the suggestion to file a complaint!

No, wait a minute - I think you should write multiple letters and file multiple complaints!

Monster, PC me - I will help you. That nurse needs to do a bit of shaking herself - like in front of her supervisor, the hospital board, the Board of Nursing AND the medical board! Ya all know, experience is sometimes the best teacher, eh?
