(7,512 posts)When I worked in the hospital, we had a psych patient who was being admitted to a real psych hospital. We knew her well. She had tried to jump off balconies and elevated parking lots in our facility. We were waiting for an officer to pick her up for transport and she would not get dressed. She had on a hospital gown and that is all. She had clothes. Her nurse tried to reason with her and got called "cunt", the word had the desired effect on the nurse. I was the supervisor. I did not let it me even though the patient had an impressive grin on her face. I walked in and told her she could call me anything but either she got dressed or the cop and I would dress her. She backed down and got dressed. I told the nurse I understood her reaction. When used like that it is awful. Just so you know, later on the patient set fire to her apartment building and did some serious time.
But if I used the word, Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavette would bet the target.
