So I'm talking to my nurse about the patient I just assessed, a long-term drug abuser, and made some comment about how it must be tough to live with addiction for such a long time.

A random nurse, not involved with the patient, walked by just as I was making my comment. She jumped in and added her two cents.
Random nurse (Big, deep breath and...exhale): You're a lot nicer than me if it were up to me I'd have them all shot then none of us would have to deal with them anymore--my brother's been abusing drugs for over twenty years and he's a complete loser and he uses anything he can get his hands on and he's stolen from everyone in the family--breaking in our houses and he's burned down houses and he's been in jail so many times I can't even count and once he came to this ER and he was acting like such a fool and I got furious with him and I came down here and told him if he EVER came into my hospital again I would find out where he lived and I would kill him and the stuff he's put my mother through....the man is fifty years old and he's still calling my mother every month and asking her for rent money!!
Wow. Guess I struck a nerve there. ->
