A patient called me a bitch

today. To my face. He

then told my consultant to go fuck herself.

He was a heroin addict in need of his

next fix. He

was having a bad day.

We all have them. Bad days. And needs for next fixes.

We don’t all go around calling people bitches

though. I can’t help but wonder if he

would have behaved differently if I was a man.

I am almost certain he

would not have told a male

consultant to go fuck himself.

It’s ok, she

had security escort him

off hospital premises. If you call us bitches

then bitches

we will be.
