Should i feel bad for cussing at a doctor?

I broke my ankle, and while she was stuffing my leg into a walking cast it was the worst pain i have ever felt. I had to yell and scream it was horible. I actually made her cry, but isnt that her job to be able to take anything, and i didnt mean it really, the pain was too much

Answer #1

Doctors don’t have to take your abuse. Just because you’re in pain does not give you the right to take the aggression out on the person who is trying to help you. Be reasonable.

Answer #2

Uhm well generally doctors should be used to people being a little emotional when they’re not feeling well, however, honestly if the pain was that bad, perhaps she should have given you something for it? Now if you refused pain medication and then yelled at her, yes, that would be your fault. Regardless, what good does it do at this point trying to figure out whether you are at fault or whether you should be feeling bad about it? Perhaps apologizing would be a good thing to do in this situation.

Answer #3

they had given me two vicoden 30 mins before, that did nothing, and i vaugly remember the whole, thing my mom said it sounded like i was giving birth

Answer #4

Well I dont know if there was more she could have done or not, but regardless I have been not to pleasant to a doctor before (I wasn’t yelling or cussing, but I wasnt exactly nice), it was a really rough day, which he was making a lot worse even though I do know he was just doing his job. He was really sweet though, called me a couple of times at home to check on me, and I apologized because I felt bad. I still feel kinda bad about it, but I’m glad I did apologize. You might just want to call her up and just explain you were in a lot of pain.

Answer #5

tell her ur sorry that u yelled at her and that u were just in a whole lot of pain. she should understand.
