This morning, the assistant director of the crisis unit met with me. She said "I heard things got really bad at one point while I was on vacation. I heard that you were yelling-"
I said "I was being antagonized the entire time. There are some nurses here who are really vicious." I told her the names of those people.
She said "I heard you called someone a c--t. That's not acceptable."
I said "That's not what happened. One of the nurses had antagonized me and allowed others to hassle me all night. When I was getting my meds from her, she was being a jerk and I lost my temper and swore, but that wasn't the swear word I used. Then she said, as if she hadn't been making things difficult for me the entire night and laughing in my face about it, 'There's no reason for you to talk to me that way.' I said 'I get called a c--t all day. That's what the coughing and sneezing mean, and you know it."
I said to the assistant director, about the vicious nurses, "I've just been trying to stay away from them." She said "That's what I need you to do."
I ended the conversation by saying, "Obviously, there are a lot of people who are lying and exaggerating around here."
It seems to me that what has happened is exactly what those of the staff who are vicious wanted to happen, which is that they have successfully portrayed me to the assistant director as a problem patient who is potentially dangerous, and they have omitted all mention of their unprofessional behavior and deliberate attempts to upset me.
