Am I On Candid Camera?

Nursing Home staff

Is this a test?

 

Testing, testing, 1-2-3

 

Oh this is not a test?

 

This is real life?

 

You mean professionals

 

Really can be rude and obnoxious?

 

I didn’t know that…….

 

I thought in the Medical Field

 

People took an oath to treat

 

Others as they would

 

Like to be treated

 

To give the utmost respect

 

To have a compassionate heart

 

You mean this doesn’t happen everywhere?

 

I wonder how many others

 

Didn’t know as I did not

 

This is really a joke right?

 

Am I on Candid Camera?

 

Where is the hidden camera?

 

Did I pass? Can I be on the show?

 

Tears are falling from my eyes

 

Can you see them Administrator?

 

You have hurt my feelings

 

You have treated my blood brother

 

As though he were nothing special

 

Don’t you see how badly this hurts?

 

Can you not see my heart bleeding?

 

Spilling red onto your whitey-white shoes

 

Please understand one simple thing

 

I have been with him for 56 years

 

You have been with him 4 months

 

I know him better

 

I know what hurts him

 

What causes him pain

 

Please do me and yourself a favor

 

Go back to the school you came from

 

Go back to where it teaches

 

Etiquette and patient care

 

Take a second look at him

 

He is my brother, I am his sister……….

Liebster Blog Award

http://faraazandaneesa.wordpress.com

Aneesa nominated me for the beautiful award and also her mate, Faraaz.

This is a fantastic blog! Here is part of what each one says about themselves.

Arneesa:

About me… Well I like to talk, to cook and to dine with others. I laugh too loudly (and sometimes inappropriately…) I like to eat peanut butter out of the jar with a teaspoon and I like sleeping with the covers over my head.  I am good at keeping secrets but bad at pretending to get on with people who I just don’t like. I love to drive, only if I have nowhere to go. I love kids (although I suspect they don’t feel the same way about me…)

Faraaz:

I’m a man. People ask me about cars, computers, gadgets, sports, martial arts and  anime. Those questions I can answer. Questions about me? Not so sure I know what to say. I started off as an architect, in the bustling metropolis of Johannesburg, South Africa. How I ended up teaching English in Korea is a mystery.
