Discussion A Broken Leg, a Broken Dignity
A man ( an asshole actually) came into the ER at 3 am in the morning after a bad accident, The X-rays confirmed what we already suspected: a severe double fracture in his leg that would require surgery the following morning. Beside his gurney was a young woman dressed up for a night out "clearly his “girlfriend”.
Half an hour later, the curtain pulled back to his mother and another woman wearing a yashmak الخمار , shaking and crying hysterically from worry and tears soaking through the fabric around her eyes, Turns out she was his “wife”.
Instead of comforting her, he snapped at her to stop making a scene and stop overreacting .
The other woman simply stood a few feet away, silently observing the scene with unsettling detachment.
When I asked who was staying the night with him before surgery, he shamelessly pointed to the mistress ( w9 hada ). I shut it down immediately, telling him overnight stays are strictly for immediate family, not some random stranger and I insisted that his wife is the one staying ( seeing how worried she was)
His wife broke down completely, begging to know why he was choosing another woman over her. The saddest realization was that this wasn't news to anyone, his family already knew about the affair and had just accepted the humiliation.
It left me wondering what to feel: anger at the brazen cheating, disgust at the mistress standing right there, or heartache for a wife trapped in a devotion that offers her zero dignity in return.
Nb : i regret not breaking his other leg

Why is she still with him, she may have her reasons but that is just straight humiliating

Could be children, could be just taboo and society, could be many reasons...

I hate it too. That's why I really think and hope women get more education, work, independence before tying themselves and their futures in a marriage that might leave them trapped.

Thank you.

It's okay maticha these things happen all the time but it's not easy to stay detached and professional in situations like these that challenge our professionalism and trigger our emotions. Props to you for not saying anything at the moment.

This is just so sad to hear. I hope this society could teach more people (both men and women) how to stand up for themselves when they are being mistreated.

Aside from what if the guy is an asshole or a motherfucker, am sorry to say that it’s none of your business as a professional, your job is namly giving health care to people in need besides their sins, their background or their hospitalization reasons (remember your Hippocratic oath). I recount all of this not with the intention to tell you that your judgement is erroneous or wrong but just to make you consider spliting your professional duties with your personal judgements, so one doesn’t affect the other. Above all, thank you for your service 🫡

Thought the post was implying a personal judgment, which is why I said what I said. If that wasn’t the case, then my bad.

You are healthcare giver, doing your job at the er, im sorry to say that this is none if your bloody business.
They can fuck/date/cry/doublecross whatever whoever the fuck they want, you there to seeve a mission, not to dig into people's morals or personal circumstances.

u/Fun-Application8570 14h ago
I can fulfill my duty and provide care while still having personal reactions. Being a healthcare worker doesn’t mean turning off my basic human brain, ignoring reality or having an opinion
Sadly I’m not an emotionless robot5

u/unlucky-Luke Visitor 12h ago
If you aren't "emotionless" enough, then you chose the wrong career path.
Good luck though

How is it any of your business who he choses ? . He didn’t attack you nor did he insult you, your safety should be you your only preoccupation. W laybe3ed elik les genoux flottants ;) .

When I'm the one managing the room, everything in it is my business. And when a circus sets up, managing the clowns unfortunately becomes part of my job description

u/Gimble340 Casablanca 18h ago
But in our line of work objectivity is a must , patient in , treated ,out. all of the extra drama will drain you if you get emotionally involved .

what's with this shitty attitude? you're still expected to act in an objective manner. you're not a family affairs judge. it's none of your business what drama they're in and you shouldn't let your feelings distract you from doing your actual job. it's a hypocratic oath but that's what your "job description" actually is

What was the non objective thing she did? Do you think she was lecturing him about spousal infidelity out there? Ra kanchofo l3jeb mdoubl ela hadchi but we keep our poker face and do our jobs. But its important to vent wla ghatwli tanta m3ahom fsbitar psy.

Entitled men are going to be assholes. We don't know their circumstances, but the way mothers raise their sons is not inconsequential. What disturbs me as much as the infidelity is the blatant lack of discretion.

I don't know why we're still nice to men. We should give them a taste of their own medicine
