Many thanks for all your kind responses. Although I agree that I should complain about it I still feel that it is not a a battle I want to take on (personal choice I suppose), complaining is quite normal for French or American people but here in Britain it is perceived as a last resort option and is not undertaken lightly. Once I was on a bus the button was pressed indicating to stop but the driver missed not one but two stops..did anyone waiting to get off complained? no..two of us went to see the driver the others were only just shaking their heads in disaprovement..and when we left the bus I realised that the only other person that complained was also French haha.. the only two that dared saying something we laughed about it!
Further more I am keeping my complaining cards for important matters such as brain scan ect.. and to me the nurse is not one of these, even if it hurts sometimes it is short lived.
However as also suggested next time when she starts making as if I am simply crazy to worry I will tell her kindly that what she says hurts. Gosh it seems that a lot of us had our share of unprofessional nursing..
Colleens husband thank you very much for analising the situation and I think you are right I can imagine that she would be in denial if she was in this situation and perhaps she wishes I would do so and instead belittle me.
It made me feel better to vent so thank you to all of you for your kind answers.
