The person who vaccinated me was rude

[KoyukiMegumi]

So, this was gonna be a status post, but then i realized I am pissed enough to have the need of seeing people justifying me being pissed.

So, I got a booster dose today, and the person vaccinated people was talking on the phone.

I must had waited there for tens of minutes before my turn, and she still was talking, just blah blah blah.

She was just stabbing people while talking on the phone, which really wasn't good for my fear of blood and gore.

When it was my turn, she told me to slide my collar down enough to expose my arm, but since I was wearing a tight shirt, it wasn't possible.

I offered to remove my shirt, but she said, "No need," and just stabbed me on my shoulder.

Thankfully, she was soon scolded by a superior, so that was nice.

Hah... I am a nurse and in my third shot, I had to watch the person put the injection lower on the arm in horror. I couldn't move my arm for the rest of the day.

Did I go off on her? No, she was nervous, and I didn't want her to feel bad. After all, she placed another shot perfectly fine before. She was not distracted.

If a needle going into the deltoid muscle hurts, they have fucked up somewhere. It shouldn't hurt. Heck, I've injected myself there, and it didn't hurt while doing it myself. >.> Yet people seem to love putting it lower than it should go. And that hurts.

However, allow no one to put an injection while distracted. It isn't safe. There are a lot of nerves that they could hit if they aren't paying attention. Next time, refuse to sit down and demand her to put the damn phone down and do her dang job. I would have stared at her to oblivion.

Heck, if something happens, sue the bitch.

I didn’t know so much could go wrong during vaccination.

so injecting too low will make the arm hurt?

This is pretty rude. Though not the worst thing I've heard or seen involving a hospital or doctor's office. When I got 3rd-degree burns from a gas explosion a few years back, I went to the nearest hospital which was in a pretty small town. They had less than a skeleton crew on staff and I had to wait in extreme pain with both of my arms under cool water for over an hour as we waited for the doctor to drive from his house just so that he could tell the nurses to give me pain meds. Then they coated my arms in burn cream and wrapped them in plastic wrap of all things. It was the worst hospital visit I've ever had. The doctor had his license revoked after I told the people at the burn center what happened.

Making the arm hurt is the least harmful thing. Uh, hit a nerve and you may lose some sense in your arm. Worse case is losing mobility. Though I guess, lack of disinfection can cause infections/sepsis. Which is bad too. Eh, a lot of things can go bad depending on the hygiene and technique. This is why we go to school for 4 years well nurses.

We learn all this, yet some people don't fucking care. They lose the spark of caring for another life. This is all just knowledge for your brain. Be always aware and know the risks/benefits of everything you do. This isn't to make you scared. Just make sure you watch the person doing it/question the way they do it.

A real nurse won't get angry at you because you ask questions and are aware of your rights. Incompetence is something big in the medical field. With that said...

Get vaccinated! Covid can kill your grandparents/parents or someone else's if you don't. Other vaccines are for your safety. :3

That's why I take my mom with me... lol and sigh.

I learned to fear needles when I visited a dentist years ago. He was such a bitch that my mother did nothing for fear that he would " accidentally" pull out the wrong teeth. He said that I was too girly and not manly enough for someone of my age.

At least my mother brought me some sweets on the way home.
What I hate more than needles are rude people who use them on me.?

But I take vaccine, as I am more afraid of death than needles.

Communism, yay!
Vaccines are free

Communism, yay!

Socialism, more like it and any good capitalist society has always required a bit of it to run well, those without suffer quit a bit. The problem is balancing to much versus to little.

Funny enough more vaccines have been invented in Capitalistic societies but Communistic societies have a better handle on getting their people vaccinated as a whole, when they can afford to vaccinate them and decide to actually use a vaccine.

Vaccines are also a situation where more regulation and government oversight is better than no regulation, but that pushes the costs up, but to much and vaccine development become unprofitable. But oversight is generally (not always) a bit of a failure in Communistic governments versus those in more Capitalistic/Socialistic ones historically.

Communism is another name for depopulation and slavery.

Technically, Communistic societies don't even exist. The whole point of communism has been to remove both government and money. And everyone would live in communities that provide all needs. The justification for strict government has been that you need one to put everything in place, then once everything is in place, the government would be dissolved.

Of course that is one big joke cause once people taste power, no one wants to give it up. So Stalinist societies is more like it.

And as for those societies more likely to get people vaccinated, you'd be surprise. As you have lots of power with little checks and balances, it leads to high amount of fraud. It isn't uncommon for those societies to claim numbers that are far from true.

Long story short, humans should give up all political power and embrace cats as their supreme overlords!

While terribly unprofessional and deserving of punishment, if the gossip in you country of residence is anything like where I live than it would be at least understandable (still needs punished though). There's an insidious death cult in my region circulating rumors that all the deaths from covid are actually people killed by the vaccines instead, and that masks are secretly full of brainwashing tranquilizers that hook you on opium; doctors, nurses, hospital janitors, and anyone related even peripherally to both policy and health (like school principals) are being harrassed and assaulted by these darned cultists (or rather their sheep) on a near daily basis. I can imagine it would be hard for someone administering shots to focus sometimes. But phones should be off at work.
