Sorry to hear what happened to you, VK. 
It can be quite traumatic to have something like
that happen.
Out of all the Team Leaders we have on our ward, only two are
really capable. The rest are lazy, and don't give a damn
about the work, but got to where they are because the higher-up's
like them as they sa-kah and socialise well. 
I'm just relieved that the Unions here
are strong and unfair and wrongful dismissals cannot happen because
the Unions will take up the issue and back the employee.
I'm so glad I no longer work full-time in my old ward - there
are more and more difficult patients and relatives around.
There is this growing attitude that because they paid more to be in
a private hospital, therefore we have to be at their beck and
call. 
The nurses are growing irate. Everyone
is stressed out these days.
I'm quite sick of dealing with behavioural, psych/mental issues
and problems related to drug addiction and abuse. On
Saturday, I had this crazy drug addict shout at me and basically
just try to find fault with everything I did. I finally got
so pissed, I shook my head in disbelief and walked out of the room,
and went straight to the Team Leader's Office to lodge a complaint
about verbal abuse only to find that this patient has been acting
in the same manner to all the nurses assigned to him and basically,
he's just trying to find fault to weasel his way out of paying the
bill and to prolong his hospitalisation and his medical leave so
that he never ever has to return to work again but will be entitled
to claim $$ from the govt. Sick! This is his 3rd
admission into the hospital, even his surgeon is sick of him
because he's just putting on some grand act, pretending to be in
pain just to get his morphine shots. And yet, the system doesn't address such
issues because patients have 'rights'!
