Last night, the nurse antagonized me and condescended to me until I got upset and showed, verbally that I was upset. Then she threatened to call the police. I said "Go ahead and call them." I hadn't threatened her. I hadn't done anything except object to her abuse of me. I'm getting harassed by several people at this unit and also feel that I might get assaulted by one of the patients, and I'm being threatened with the police. It's disgusting.
After she and the mental health worker screamed at me, earlier in the evening, telling me that nobody is harassing me, I avoided them until late at night. They keep all patient meds, so to get them I had to ask the nurse to let me into the room that has them. When she was opening the door to the med room, she coughed. I said "You're not worth getting upset about." She said, sharply and condescendingly, "Just take your meds, Lena." I said "Don't talk to me that way."
She got the argument she was looking for, which she continued by saying, in the same condescending tone of voice "Just go to bed, Lena." I told her again not to talk to me that way; that's when she threatened to call the police.
She is unbelievably vindictive and she is locked into a power struggle with me that she created and that she is desperate to win.
I think I just heard a loud cough from a female staffperson outside my room, and the horrible coughing by the male patient who was yelling right outside my window a couple of nights ago has started again.
