Nurse Ratched!

There were a lot of old comedy movies like the 'Three Stooges' who in their escapades and would get hurt somehow there was always a nurse who was always by the book and no nonsense about the work, but they would call her Nurse Ratched because of the way she (they (movie directors) made her look. What if there was a real Nurse Ratched? A nurse who just wanted to make a patient follow the rules to the letter so that the patients will be discharged from the hospital. At times believe it or not I was this nurse usually a mental health issue but would not do their physical therapy exercises that they were supposed to do several times a day.

Now for a real confession. I was remembering this patient I had with bad back issues and was supposed to walk several times a day and would only just want to lay in bed or just sit in a chair. The patient would call me Nurse Ratched for I would even though I was a nurse I would make her do her exercises, and the funny thing is that patient did the exercises and did feel a little better.

I am retired from nursing now and I shared on Facebook tried to share this idea to a relative so that they could probably feel a little better my version of this character and was told how rude. I must have skipped a few words been typing to fast and thinking I typed them thinking ahead to the next word did not though and seemed to cause an issue. So, just to clear the air I am the Nurse Ratched who just wants to 'help' someone feel a little better who really needs as well as me to do some exercises liking walking around somewhere so one does not stiff up and get worse. My plan is to continue to walk dogs at least three times a day even though it is on the third trip getting hard to do. My suggest to another person was to get up maybe stretch a little, but then just walk around the house a few times so that they do not get stiff or numb by sitting or lying too much.

I apologize for there was to me a misunderstanding even though logical on that character that just wants to help people feel better and get back to their old selves.
