Recently I came across a nurse who forgot to give me prior intimation that we were running out of diapers. She just informed me on the last day that there were no more diapers.
I was aghast. What is this? I gave her a lecture about how important it was to inform me up front that something was going to get over so that I have time to procure it. And that she was not to intimate me after we ran out of something.
She was sweet. She kept nodding and accepted that it was her fault. She was smiling. There was no shock nor guilt in her face.
I finally asked her how we would manage that day without diaper (we did have another kind of diaper but we needed the kind that we had run out of).
She said it was ok, we will manage. I asked her how. What she meant was the patient will suffer / manage.
Is this the meaning of grace under pressure with absolutely no sense?
Is this what we learn under the guise of grace and maturity - to be sweet, soft and clueless? Is this EQ?
Most of the these girls don't have a clue about prevention of the problem in future once a problem has been identified. They also hate to tell the caretaker about the presence of an actual problem or the possibility of a problem.
How can they do a good job if they hate to convey bad news?
What is this kind of character?
You could have done wonders as a life coach, indeed people tend to be sweet at the expanse of reliability.... And this is what's taught in soft skills .... Accept your mistake with a smile.... It's the easiest escape from the situation.i wonder if someone can train him/herself to fall out of this habit of sweetness and acquire reliability ....
