Connor Donnelly, from Mauchline, East Ayrshire, is wheelchair bound, blind, non verbal and barely able to sit up but his mum says she was told to look for jobs for him.
Nursing ive never really understood maybe its a US thing cos if ur getting a job as a nurse in the UK to be a mean girl like welcome to hell I guess its such a high requirement and hard job just to bully people.
Idk if it has the same problem here I think the NHS mean girl position is operating the front desk at any and all doctors practises. Some absolute demons in those roles that exist to prevent you from accessing medical care oh and also said all sorts of racist shit to my mum while she was actively dying
In North America, doctor’s office receptionists aren’t typically gatekeepers, they’re like an office receptionist.
Nurses and insurance claims adjusters end up filling that role, sometimes even retroactively in the US.
In Canada, the worst experience I’ve ever really seen with reception is in our equivalents of A&E, urgent care or the Emergency Department, is typically a response like, “sorry the wait time for walk in is 38 hours” (because they triage anyone who actually needs to be there to the front and you’re actually supposed to make an appointment with your GP if you’re not bleeding out basically)
Sure yes, absolutely there are all sorts of bullies out there but there are also some gendered job roles out there too. These are three of the most common jobs for women who were bullies in school. The most common jobs for men who were bullies in school are law enforcement, military, and sales. Real estate is also extremely common but roughly equal in gender distribution.
PubMed is overflowing with psych studies on this subject. There’s an incredibly common phrase in medicine, “Nurses eat their young”. Misogyny comes in when you ascribe this to being an individual problem of bad eggs, rather than a systemic one of a job category which is toxic and has asymmetrical power dynamics.
All of these industries permit low accountability, give aggressive people unchecked decision-making authority, and provide easy access to and control over vulnerable populations.
Same scenario in the US and Canada, these people are fucking demons to an individual.
Along with nursing and HR, it’s the classic “high school mean girl” job pick. They’re paid to bully the disabled.
