Hospital Staff v Police?
Christian charity?
- On a side note. The head nurse at Little Company of Mary Hospital where the injured Officer went to be treated told a Sgt. that the days of preferential treatment for police and fire are over. Even going so far as yelling at the injured Officers family. Most of the staff at the hospital was extremely confrontational and wouldn't let other Officers that came to lend their support in to see the injured Officer, telling some to get back on the street and do your job. The head nurse and "security guard" should be fired immediately.
We've had a couple of officers offer to take this up through channels with LCM Hospital as there are a number of professional and personal connections with the Order that runs the hospital. This less than professional behavior should be nipped in the bud.

I just threw up in my mouth!
Who died and made her boss? What the fuck is going on? Now hospital staff is getting into this shit? The CEO of that hospital needs to be reamed if it trickled down from him..
What kind of Caregivers are these? Have they been so saturated by ignorant people coming in to the facility that they have now become what they were confronted with. They need to shape up and get a life.
What unit/ dept she work? Anything better on her than "head nurse"?
Nip it nip it nip it said deputy Barney Fifth.
She should be fired. There must be some kind of level of professionalism that the hospital holds its employees to, let alone impolite and confrontational behavior toward people in the hospital. She can act like a bitch in her own living room but not as an employee and representative of LCM.
What hospital staff member was arrested or given a ticket.
Had an issue there last spring with ER Supervisor. Very liberal minded.
Injured in Duty and goes to LCM? Go to Northwestern. Was there recently via CFD and they treated family great plus, its a top notch center. Or Rush Medical center, also been there and they were great. Christ is ok, but not that great.
Gloves are off for LCM employees. No breaks anymore.
You treat us like shit then expect to get stepped on and squashed like dog shit.
Well, if the preferential treatment,aka courtesy, to police and firefighters is over, then perhaps the courtesy to nurses for traffic citations should be over, too.
Not to play devil's advocate, but I went to Little Company on duty for an injury and they were nothing but first class.
Got me right through and everyone there from the triage nurse to the X-ray tech to the attending dr were complete professionals and from what I could see pro-police.
Let's face it...there's haters everywhere. For gods sake, we hate each other! But as far as LCM, I think this incident with this nurse doesn't speak for them all
if the media, politicians, and poor minority's keep saying it over and over again that the police are evil, then sooner than later the hard working, tax paying citizens will think it also... Hence, the LCM staff.... This propaganda is settling into the psychy of people that once were on our side..
It's too bad, but we can't go backwards and fix this.. The train is at full speed ahead!
"that the days of preferential treatment" with hospital staff is a two-way street. Walk out of the door of the hospital and you are in our world.
A lot of hospitals have gone this way in the last 15 yrs or so. Illinois Masonic certainly has, maybe even longer than that. OLR is another hospital with shitty staff. Like the post said, have your security handle the ER disturbances.
This should truly be investigated. I hope someone follows through with a complaint
Nurses aren't pur friends, have not been for years. Coppers should not give breaks .
I don't understand why he would be there to begin with, but how disrespectful and disgusting! Get well officer. Next time demand to go to a better hospital!
Perhaps the hospital (and it's Doctors) prefer to treat Public Aid and charity patients over Police and Fire families too. Why spend big insurance bucks where you are not wanted!
ALL you coppers that work this district should do nothing less than give them the same attitude and work ethic in return. If you continue to be friends or befriend ANY of this staff, then turn in your fuckin star now fuckin trader because YOU are not the police. The police are under attack everywhere. Choose your side! Fuck them.
It's not just lcm. I've had my share of arguments with the er over police service at other hospitals.
SCC, I am one of the officer's supervisors. I got back in to work and emailed the CEO of the hospital. His representative got back to me within an hour. She is from a south side family with many police and fire connections. She was extremely apologetic and was appalled at the behavior of the staff at LCM. She also reached out to the officer's sergeant and was going to call the officer directly. I believe this woman's sincerity and believe that this problem will be rectified. I was informed that she called me back today, but I am RDO. This hospital is usually pretty good to us and I believe that the message has already reached the top of their chain. Let's give the hospital administration a chance to atone for their abysmal treatment of TS and his colleagues before we call in a Broken Arrow.
Welp, guess the days of professional courtesy for nurses are over too! Two can play that game. If they wanna get shitty, as can be shittier.
looks like every pissbum and mental should be dropped at LC of M from now on.
Oh......that's ok with me. "Drivers license and insurance please"... I'm sorry about that officer I work as a nurse at Little Company of Mary"......"Oh really....Here's your citation and have a nice day"
Think about this for a second - AND - I am NOT siding with the LCM staff at all, just making an observation.
There is a LOT of pressure on these people - just like it is on you, so before saying they are "unprofessional", some police have to look in the mirror.
At some hospitals, they are shorthanded. They have to put up with idiot bosses. The people they serve can be demanding, cranky and just plain rude. Some staff do the minimal on the job and slack off on their whole shift so others have to work even harder on their job.
See any parallel to YOUR job environment???
Just like police suffer from burnout on the job - so do nurses at some of these hospitals.
Maybe it is just part of the times we are living in now, but many people are not poster children for professionalism - in MANY areas - not just cops and nurses.
You can call them on it (being professional) but remember - call your own on it as well!!!
Not a LEO, JAFO
The nursing supervisor at LCM is married to a SGT from evergreen park, the ER EMS coordinator is a Oak lawn FF who's brother is a cop somewhere. Many of the ER staff are married or related to CPD of CFD. I find this report hard to believe, as I'm there on a regular basis, and go there with my family, have been inpatient there for extended periods recently.
We pick LCM for injured members from CPD and CFD because of how well the accomidate our needs and the assistance provided by the villages fire and PD.
That being said, there are a few recent hires that are had apples, "I can't breathe" tshirt types, but those people are already on their way out. The church doesn't tolerate that type of behavior. any comments made were made by an individual, not the hospital as a whole.
Tread lightly bloggers. In the event an officers is in need of treatment in the future, and we will be, we might not want to piss off the ER staff. Just saying. Just saying.
I am a P.O. who went to Christ hospital with chest pains. I let the Triage Nurse know I was a CPD. Didn't matter sat in waiting room for almost 10 hrs. NO BS.
Sounds like someone there got a great big dose of self-righteous Ferguson-style "hate the police" up their behind. Probably all wound up about a "murder" that never occurred.
So let their "security guard" handle the next bug-eyed crazy doper tearing up the ER. Hell of an attitude to throw when attacks on hospital staff have been increasing.
Putting it in perspective -- they should see how hospitals in the Middle East have to operate. Whole ER slick with blood and jammed with shouting, hysterical young men waving AKs until you can't hardly squeeze past. "You fix him first! You fix him first!" Seems like we are only inches from that here sometimes.
Count your blessings over there, huh?
I recall the old days when we would give a break to nurses, doctors, lawyers as professional courtesy. I guess not anymore.
Hospital personnel going the way of educators?
No keeses for them.
The ER at LCM is loaded with Starbucks Frequent Drinker Card carrying Banana Republic snobs. I hate going there with offenders in custody. As ghetto as Roseland hospital is at least their staff treats us with courtesy and respect. I don't mind it there but hearing this about LCM doesn't surprise me in the least.
Little Company is a shithole.
I've found that there are usually a few nurses that are hostile to the police in emergency rooms. If you dig a little deeper, it's because they are divorced from a policeman.
All these people who always hated the police are becoming embolden now. They feel they can insult them and treat them like shit without repercussions. A lot are learning there are consequences for your actions. I hope that is the case here. No need fur this bullshit
How about an email, number, or anyyhing else so people can contact them and complain.
You are witnessing the beginning of the end of this country. The communists have brainwashed enough Americans over the years that they outnumber the decent and reject American values.
Get used to it or move out to parts of the country that still love our Republic and its Constitution.
Please verify if this was the emergency room charge nurse or the house supervisor. Mr Dennis Day is the administrator in charge of the Emergency Room..
There is a woman on the first watch who has six times called DCFS as soon as learning dad or mom is the police, and accused members of child abuse, due to injuries occurring accidentally in the home..this is was brought to the attention of the hospital administration when Devine was States Attorney.. Same shift wants to take blood from everyone for dui, even if your the passenger.
"OLR is another hospital with shitty staff."

Some real serious non-medical agendas running in there. Maybe the Presence buyout will scare some of the worst into flying right. The new owners have promised to keep it open for a while yet, but who knows.
LCM has been nothing but first class. On duty you won't find better service. Even taking prisoners, they try their best at getting you in and out fast. Don't let one bad experience, or one bad person ruin a great relationship. If you have a problem with someone there then call them out by name and deal with that person. Don't hold it against everyone that works there.
Some of the security guards in the ER are Evergreen Park officers.
It's OK to air this out. That's how things get fixed. If they get fixed.
Dennis Day? Can we get him to sing Danny Boy?
Never had a problem with LMC ER medical staff. Their security guards are a bunch a blow hard wanna be police dbags......a family member was in the er for several hours and I brought up a pizza for a family member who waiting. The wanna be cop said no outside food is allowed since the smell bothers other patients and staff. Just then 2 f/1 nurses walked into the ER with Harold's chicken. That fried greasy odor permeated the entire ER. I asked security...oh that's ok? Both security walked away from me. I try to avoid LCM and i especially avoid Christ. Christ deserves it's own thread.
Thats ok, they drive to work dont they? sometimes in a hurry cause they are running late for work? Yea, we'll do our job, tickets for everyone. This door swings both ways.
No more passes for dr's and nurses - it's on!!!!!! It's amazing considering the crap that comes through those doors on a daily basis!!
Let's put all of them in the same light. Maybe one supervisor or administrator is responsible for issuing some kind of directive, but many of the nurses are married or in someway related to police of fire personnel and have most often been very good to emergency responders.
I work in 022 and have been there countless times due to the fact 022 is the closest CPD district bordering the hospital. We get every "walk-in", traffic accident or doa transported by CFD no matter where it occurs in Chicago so we're there several times a day.
I've also been there many times for injured officers.
At least in my experiences, the staff was very polite & helpful. Sure, some of the staff can get ornery but walk through that waiting room sometime. It's like a chucky cheese. Little rats running around screaming, no parental control whatsoever. It's turned into a roseland west due to all the ghetto mutts that go there.
Just as we do, others can get worn down by dealing with ignorant asses all day long.
It's not an excuse as I don't know any of the parties involved but i can definitely see why this played out the way it did.
Be safe!!!!!!

Get names. Initiate lawsuits. Buy new car with proceeds.
Sounds like another anti police liberal.
Many years ago we had this at a West Side Catholic Hospital and the head nun hated us.
After one of the nurses was raped ( on hospital grounds ) and and a guy was finished off in the ER, they got religion and wanted us back.
Nursing and medical schools include forms of the new way of thinking "progressive" indoctrination. Most medical staffs understand the enormous burden dealing with the public but there are still some who drink the kool aid. Hopefully this is isolated with only a few misguided medical practitioners. Hospital staffs can save your life just as you may save theirs. Lets not enemies here.
Same with St Mary's on Div. We had to drop off a psych patient the other day.... All the 2 women did was complain.
See, even if you follow Orders, you still get jagged.

A little knee jerk there, I think. It reminds me of all the strokes that judge us by Finnegan or Abatte.
Relax. Take people as they come. Think for yourself.
This is why I will continue to drive aimlessly in my cruiser with my loafers next to me on the passenger seat. I will leave the action to all the VRI hair gels. Enjoy the retro!
I sat in er at Christ for 8 hours before even being seen and ended up having my appendix out. The registration people at er when you first come in were put off and rude when I told them I was cpd. We need a hospital just for police/first responders and their family members.
A very influential person fromLMC recently died. He was from a police family ... He would be pissed to hear this. If I was the injured officer I would have my guys take me out of their

Should have taken a number at the deli counter and gone to Petey's Bungalow for a few hours. The Wong Dum Dong cocktails are MARVELOUS.
I agree with SCC's last paragraph...
" We've had a couple of officers offer to take this up through channels with LCM Hospital as there are a number of professional and personal connections with the Order that runs the hospital. This less than professional behavior should be nipped in the bud."
It should be handled on an 'individual case' basis, through channels, and not fall into the liberal, Communist present-day leanings.(Blame/punish everyone)
What next? Marching, and chanting 'What do we want, dead ER staff, when do we want it, now!?"
If true, I agree it needs to be properly addressed AND rectified.
A fellow poster (1/03/2015 03:28:00 AM) has the right start to approach this incident.
In the interim, stay safe, back up one another and continue your prayers for all our first-responders, military and 'deserving' medical staff.
The bottom line: bad health care providers and bad police officers taint the profession we love.
Tread lightly bloggers. In the event an officers is in need of treatment in the future, and we will be, we might not want to piss off the ER staff. Just saying. Just saying.
1/03/2015 06:16:00 AM
Oh, so now we have to worry about medical professionals killing us through apathy. Fuck them and FUCK YOU... Just saying.

We're you working?
Well then any contact CPD has with the medical staff at LCMH , traffic stops etc. ought to be handled in the same manner. What the hell is their problem?
Remember also that when you respond to a hospital or a mental care facility and they request that you disarm your self, give up your gun, before going in to the psych ward or building where the mentals are housed , don't do it. Nowhere are we allowed to,or supposed to comply with such a request. Tell the person in charge that you will not relinquish your weapon and ask that the parties involved be brought out to YOU. If they don't or won't tell them you are not going to be unarmed and call back when THEY will comply with your request. No where does it say we are to give up our weapon to make a report or handle a job ....stay safe....
Was there a racial component to this? Just asking.
Slow down guys. There are haters everywhere. We don't like it when we get painted with the same brush when one of us looks bad. I'm also wiling to bet that most of the tough guys with the ticket books are full of shit and don't even know their traffic key
So that's where the Chipotle counter person ended up
Hey my wife is a long time nurse at LCM. They have recently had a turnover with retirements and the death of a executive. The outside hired replacements are not exactly the right fit for the once tight knit family oriented community hospital. Their finances are a bit thin since the good sisters opened a clinic in the Gresham area. The newer management is trying to make up the lost funds by putting the screws to their employees by making them work longer hours with less support staff all while they are getting more demanding "self pay" patients. I had noticed the changes when I used to go there to have tests done. I felt like a stranger at cook county hospital.
Bottom line is, like the Police, not all nurses are assholes.
I would hope that the entire hospital staff is not judged by the actions of a couple of screwballs. I'm a former PO and my sister is a nurse at LCM. She does not act or think like the the goofs mentioned in the blog. I suspect action will be taken to correct these problems promptly.
Thats bullshit guys. As an ER doc that would not stand in MY department. I used to work many years ago at St Mary of Nazareth (before I was a doc but still in the ER). I always appreciated the help and security you guys provided us. NOBODY dared even raise their voice to us, if they did they were promptly hauled off to Cook County.
Thanks for everything you do. Lots of us in ER still appreciate it.
I was on duty in 005 when we had to take a "mental" to lcm. The nursing staff was good, however there is an older female security guard there that is a complete asshole and yelled @ me several times for daring to go in the e.r. without her permission...total nut job and not liked by lcm e.r. staff.
Okay, who on the job broke her heart?
Tread lightly bloggers. In the event an officers is in need of treatment in the future, and we will be, we might not want to piss off the ER staff. Just saying. Just saying.
1/03/2015 06:16:00 AM
You are the definition of the sheeple. Run and hide, be afraid to say anything, don't upset anyone.
BTW...just saying...? What are you a tweener?
Its real simple. A shit hole like that needs us more than we need them. Since they hate us just use extra caution driving there and try not to get lost.
We need to bring back the Officer Friendly program. The head nurse needs mandatory cultural law enforcement awareness classes, police appreciation/police sensitivity/police diversity training and corrective procedural social interaction justice with peace officers. This will correct her intolerance, her ignorance, her bias, her bigotry practiced by that giving head nurse. Hey Miss Lady Head nurse, your about to get a dose of your own medicine from your hospital's white shirts. You put the case on yourself all by yourself. Why would you act up and create all this drama? Certainly, no reflection on the other medical professionals at this hospital.
Nurses & Drs get BIG X play when it comes to routine traffic stops, party's, and most everything else. This could be a QOL event for them. A warning or a "hey, yea, I know her/him" and they bounce from the stop w/out so much as a harsh tone. That can be stopped.
An injured on duty PO is serious business. How some1 can understand the intricacies of the human body & not understand a Peace Officer injured situation is something I'll certainly never comprehend.
Anyway, by all means, a most speedy recovery to the PO.
BTW, stay out of Christ. They can't handle their normal influx.
The Little Company of Mary staff should move forward and wear blue ribbons showing a grass roots support for police. Blue bows should be affixed in and around the hospital grounds promoting awareness. Hospital administrators should hold a police appreciation themed celebration complete with pastries and gourmet coffee. Community relations officers can take pictures of uniformed police officers wearing white lab coats and stethoscopes while the doctors can adorn crown caps with those polished shiny shields. Hospital faculty and police can bond forming a civil lasting partnership between the two professions who serve and protect to the betterment of our society.
Security on mid nights. Treat off duty like crap. The skinny one is trying to get a fight with everyone he talks too. Write all those employees tickets from mid nights.
Was recently an in-patient at LCM. I can't tell you how nice the nurses were on the unit I was on. Just about all of them had Brothers, Uncles, Dads, etc. that are CPD or burb PD. Don't go painting them all with the same brush. The nurses on 4W couldn't have been more top-notch.
Is this a prelude to obamacare? Has social engineering infected the medical staffs like a herpes virus? President obama warned us that doctors choose amputation instead of treating a diabetic infections when he was selling his disastrous health care mandate on America. You may go to the E.R. for an on duty hangnail and walk out a double amputee eligible for S.S.I. disability. Moral of the story, doctors were under assault not that long ago and now police are the bad guys under assault. Some goof in an E.R.room with an agenda does not call for a battle with those who have the power of healing that which is ailing. Respect those doctors and respect those nurses. Don't turn them to the dark side. And officers are reminded not play doctor unless in the privacy of their home with their spouse/domestic partner.
LCM isn't the only Hospital in the City w/A-Holes Nurses & Staff. Got plenty of stories concerning the ERs @ Masonic ,Swedish,Childrens to name a few.
It's nothing new so dial back the indignation and return the favor when you can.
I have also had some pretty bad experiences with hospital staff. That being said I think we need to just keep being professional especially with our language in the view of the public eye. I cant tell you how many times I have seen coppers cursing at the top of their lungs in front of the public including children!!!!!!!
hey ssc it sounds like southside ghetto crap, I work in 016 , and never had a problem aT resurrection on Talcott or luther general ,but having worked the west side I understand it is a whole different animal in the ghetto

never had problems at County, Sinai or Masonic. they are police friendly and are a pleasure to work with.
also beware of Loyola, they are full of shit also. they will call their shit gunshot victims to see , not if they're able, but if they want to talk to the police. if they ask for you ID let them see it but don't let them imake a copy.
in 18 years I have never issued a ticket to a nurse or doctor and I never will. a few ass holes will not take away from the respect I still have for them. Ive had positive experiences with them 99% of the time.
that being said take me to Sinai or Masonic

Well done!
Now Retired...
A couple of greedy or stupid cops can screw up any good thing for all the other cops on the job. I've seen it many time.
The same is true with the staff of any hospital. Could the Commander there have a chat with the Chief of that hospital.
I remember the hospitals in the 10th District hold First Responder picnics and golf outings. Someone with some rank needs to speak up for the cops in that district.
Evergreen Park Police don't bring the ER personnel coffee donuts pizza!
Like in the city the beat cop is suppose to take care of the ER personnel just in case of this!
I had the same treatment at illinois Masonic as well. I also went to visit an injured coworker and they wanted me to check my gun. Yeah, check this!
According to LCM website, Dennis Reilly is president and
CEO. Let's all send him an email to let him know this is not the proper behavior of healthcare professional.
Also Sister Sharon Anne Walsh heads up board of directors. They also need to know what's going on at their
hospital.
It's a shame, I've always heard good things about LCM.
Stay safe and there are citizens out here that support you.

Can't get much worse than what they pulled. They told the injured P.O. (who was transported by ambulance, and lapsing in and out of semi consciousness), to go sit in triage with all the public awaiting service. P.O. who was loopy, and not even sure where he was, did so in full uniform. Sergeant comes in, finds out whats going on, and absolutely does the right thing! Thats when he's told that police and fire no longer have special privleges. It went downhill from there.
You're either a nurse, or married to one and worried, as you should be... If i stop one, from LCM, after witnessing this, its on!
It was a nurse, and the two security guards as well!
Saw this on that crime site in Lakeview. The photo was of a long line of POs moving into Montrose Park with their batons at the ready.

Ditto when I went to see my mom in ICU at NWestern on the way home. Told the one bullet Barney he could come with me to ICU or call 911, but I was not giving up my service weapon. I was in uniform, but was wearing a plain black leather coat covering the shirt. He backed off. If he'd only knew about the knife...
Nurses and the hospital have to worry about laws governing confidentiality. Until they get proper clearance, all bets are off and those who are not approved family or friends have to leave. All it takes is one PO to sue for breach of privacy, and the hospital pays out and gets fined by the government.

Chest pains are supposed to get you seen IMMEDIATELY and hooked up to an EKG.
Reminds me of the dental hygienist nazi that worked on my teeth once. Once. She was divorced from cpd. Unfortunately I didn't know that until after she asked me what I did for a living. The most brutal teeth cleaning...but I took the hit for you brother, whoever you are!
LCM can kiss my ass.They damn near killed me a year ago(heart condition) with some kind of fucked up drug mixture that sent me into ICU.
That being said, treat everyone the same.Come out of your box on a stop,here is your ticket and court date.Yes Sir/No Sir....verbal admonishment.
Don't sandbag the nurses that you stop for the ignorance of the one we have read about, just because of her.But I would let them know about that bitch.
I cry bullshit to the guy who claimed to say he had chest pains and wax made to wait for hours at Christ Hospital.
You got to any ER with chest pains and you are rushed into a room so fast you're in a blur.......you may wait after, but they make sure you're not having a vapor lock first
After what happened in the Highland Park hospital ER two months ago when HP PD had to shoot a gun toting patient who went off on the ER staff - you'd think that ANY hospital would welcome the police!!
Stay safe & watch each other's back, "Office."
ive had 2 experiences as recent as 2014 feb the were very good but that was at 2am. Was there in 09 horrible experience -late afternoon different crew. the f/2 doc is a bitch the pakistanee guy is excellent. file a complaint tell your nurse at 35th
"If you continue to be friends or befriend ANY of this staff, then turn in your fuckin star now"
Yep, just like one bad cop represents all. Puh-lease.
With 15 years on the job I have yet to encounter a hospital staff member who can just answer the question "do you have the name of the attending physician?" without rolling their eyes, or ignoring you for about 10 minutes before they finally look up from their desk.
As a wife of a Chicago Police Officer and as an employee of Little Company of Mary's ER. This whole situation is unprofessional and unfortunate. But one bad egg should not spoil the whole bunch. I always try to go and peek in on injured officers to make sure they are comfortable and their families are taken care of, but that's me. I hope that this is resolved and we can continue our civil service relationship amongst each other. Remember not every situation is handled perfectly but we are all still on the same team here. Be safe ladies and gents in Blue!! My prayers are with you all.

It was a nurse, and the two security guards as well!

Wow... "Blow me!"?
You really sound professional!
Instead of going after the exact person/persons that caused this bullshit you are going to be the tough guy and pick on every nurse that workes for that hospital? Your as big a goof as the ones that started this. You really make the Police sound good by threatening innocent people that had nothing to do with the incident. you must be damn proud of yourself!
HERO!
The question is is it us or them. Who and what started this rift? Maybe it's us that need to look in the mirror.
I recently had to take my grandson to a hospital in Burlington Wisconsin for a minor problem. When I mentioned to the nurse that I was a retired CPD Officer, it was like Moses parting the Red Sea. They couldn't have been more polite or nicer. They sped the entire process along, made sure my grandson was treated quickly and properly and that we were not delayed any more than what was required. So I guess my question is, why would I be treated like a king in Wisconsin and like a POS in Chicago.
Ditto when I went to see my mom in ICU at NWestern on the way home. Told the one bullet Barney he could come with me to ICU or call 911, but I was not giving up my service weapon. I was in uniform, but was wearing a plain black leather coat covering the shirt. He backed off. If he'd only knew about the knife...

MANY incidents like this at NW Memorial.
Be careful there.
Now retired...
Do not do anything that will make things worse.
I knew this one copper who was a miserable S.O.B. to everyone everywhere. So he spends a few days in a hospital and shows his ugly side to all the staff.
On the day he was supposed to be discharged a nurse comes in a tells him he doctor wants an accurate body temperature taken and it must be done with a rectal thermometer. He grips abut it but he is not going to get out if it doesn't get done. So he turns over and zip it goes it and the nurse steps out of the room.
A couple of minutes go by and the copper's partner walks in to drive him home. "What the heck is going on?" he asks.
"Can't you see, I'm getting my temperature taken."
"With a chrysanthemum?"
We needed a laugh.
With 15 years on the job I have yet to encounter a hospital staff member who can just answer the question "do you have the name of the attending physician?" without rolling their eyes, or ignoring you for about 10 minutes before they finally look up from their desk.

Same here. I've had a few but for the most part it's like you said. I've also got a whole bunch of other stories with hospital staff over the years that are negative in nature. I'd say it's better than 50% of them that hate the police.
How many times have we read on this site, don't paint us all with the same brush? "Abbate isn't all of us" "Medzianowski isn't all of us" Finnegan isn't all of us".
But boy, let one nurse or a security guard make a "mistake" and people want to take it out on everybody that works there, or advocates being shitty to every nurse they come in contact with.
Not very consistent. Here's an idea...treat everyone on an individual basis.
Every big hospital in Chicago area is so overwhelmed with ER CRAP that it is almost impossible to get treated with an IOD in a timely manner, Christ, Northwestern, Illinois Masonic are all tasked as level 1 Trauma units, when people get transported from 5,6,7 to a downtown hospital something stinks, the southeast side needs a trauma center, what ever happen to the University of Chicago Hospital as a trauma center. I was IOD a few years ago during Loolapalooza and had spent about 7 hrs, in the ER. they are overwhelmed, but some ER's do have people with attitudes. just because they are RN's don't mean they are lovers of the police.

Reminds me of the dental hygienist nazi that worked on my teeth once. Once. She was divorced from cpd. Unfortunately I didn't know that until after she asked me what I did for a living. The most brutal teeth cleaning...but I took the hit for you brother, whoever you are!

Now THAT'S funny!

This does NOT sound like a "mistake".
A "mistake" means it was NOT done on purpose.
Anyone can see that this was probably done with complete hatred for the police, you dope.

Because the people in Burlington, Wisconsin, are nice people, NORMAL people.
This is not an isolated case. Here's why. Several years ago there was a crazy guy who help us off with a large butcher knife. (016th)
This guy went back inside the residence, and cut off his manhood!
Moments later he was tased and taken control of. CFD paramedics had placed a blanket over his former manhood area and transported to Northwestern Hospital. With and officer in the ambulance to accompany this goof, the ER doctor's first question to the goof was, "did the police do this to you)?
Be careful when your at jobs at these hospitals. Personally, the bond the police, fire, nurses and doctors have drifted miles apart over the years.
I work at lcm....so because one nurse and two security guards are fucking stupid you're going to take it out on the whole hospital...sounds stupid to me...wanted to say thanks to the officers who feel the same way.
I work at LCM ER and we have nothing but love for the police and fire dept. Unclear exactly what happened but trust me we try our best to accomodate all first responders..
They need to be put on one-year probationary status. If any of them already have anything serious in their jacket, they should be fired.
I think it's very unwise to complain and target the whole staff. Leak the names of the miscreants, complain about them. The hospital brass need and want good relations with the PD.
A few years ago, a coworker got run over and spent a month at Northwestern Memorial getting rebuilt. Every time we went to visit, NWU PD let us park in their lot and go visit. The nurses were all very friendly and our coworker said they treated him pretty well, knowing he was also a cop. I guess every situation is different.
But boy, let one nurse or a security guard make a "mistake" and people want to take it out on everybody that works there, or advocates being shitty to every nurse they come in contact with.

Excuse me Mr. syntax police. Call it what you want..mistake, error, on purpose, acted out of hate. It was still a couple of people, not everyone that works there. But go ahead, fuck over every nurse or doctor or security guard. The next time you hear "all you cops" remember your stance on this.
Give some thought to taking each person or situation on its own. That's how grown ups do it. But your juvenile name calling sort of eliminates you from grown up status.
All the Hospitals have gone to shit.
We used to go into ERs with pizzas and party with them after work.
Aw shit. It all comes down to year upon year of constant negative bombardment about the Police in the media and people believing it.
While I would like to call BS on this, I actually do believe it did happen give todays ant-police enviroment.
I worked in A/2 districts on mids for over twenty years. We used to have a great rapport with the staff from LCM and Christ. We used to party after work all the time. They called us the "breakfast club". We had a blast! I still know a couple nurses from LCM ER, and pray that they weren't involved in this regretful incident.
But because of the constant negative attack by this liberal media, people have become brainwashed and believe their BS lies!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the officer that had to deal with an asshole hater that has now started some BS between the police and the LCM staff. But remember this, just like on this job, we have many idiots that get all cops painted in a bad light. So let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.
I hope the supervisors contact with the administrative staff at LCM will deal with the couple assholes that caused this unfortunate situation.
Went to IPRA's office the other day and the investigator refused to shake my hand despite me stretching out my hand. Couldn't or wouldn't even look me in the eye. I guess class is something some will never possess.
As a registered nurse I second the motion of firing said nurse and security guards. Their job is to help the injured, not get involved in the politics.

And you can bet your ass that had YOU done that if the IPRA ghoul had extended their hand to you, you would be bent forward and pummeled to the point of prolapse with all manner of allegations regarding your alleged unprofessional conduct and demeanor...
You should have immediately sought out a supervisor and made them earn some of that big money they're stealing.
Secondly...
In this "War Against The Police" era, no copper in their right mind should sit in front of these civilian oversight of Police types without a recording device.
Fuck them and protect yourselves.
Be a hard target. Demand names.
Use publicly available resources
to garner as much info you can on
these so called "investigators."
A majority of them have serious
integrity issues which is why they
gravitate to "Police Oversight"
positions.
It's a chance for them to hit back at The Police
for all slights both real and imagined.
This is not surprising. Morale is terrible. Horribly understaffed. Not safe anymore. Getting rid of excellent experienced nurses, in favor of nurses with little experience. Less money, I guess. Under investigation by illinois department of public health and Medicare.
