Yeah. I'm definitely their scapegoat. I mean, I've had people... Recently, somebody who in a comment said, you gave my mom too much morphine and she died and you're a killer. And I was like, I didn't even know your mom. I don't know you. I didn't know your mom. She wasn't my patient. I don't know what you're talking about, you know, and go after my license. They want to find out where I work.
uh, the Facebook comment section is, is rich for really hateful things. People are pretty hateful on Facebook and we'll, and we'll say this, she doesn't deserve to be a nurse. She shouldn't be a nurse. What, you know, she's making fun of death. She makes fun of her patients and, you know, I'm just, I'm just their, their scapegoat. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, there's a lot to be said for levity when it comes to grief. And the reason why I like to use humor when I'm doing these videos that I make is because I've been with families who use humor for coping, and I've seen how really effective that it is. It's a great coping tool.

Yeah. which is how I am too. And the people that are on Facebook or the other social media platforms who hate on me for making fun of death or dying don't realize that's social media. And they'll say things to me like, I can't believe you treat a patient like that. I'm not at the bedside of a patient. I'm on TikTok. This is not how I am when I am

With people, for real, I am very compassionate and I use humor appropriately when I know that that is appropriate to use with this particular patient and or their family. You know, I pick my spots for sure. I'm a professional. So it's insulting for them to say stuff like that to me, but I also just know that haters gonna hate, you know, and that is what it is.

I know the situation you're, or the... story on the Murdered by Hospice Facebook group you're talking about. I saw that as well. And the reason why the nurses would ask somebody to leave their uncle's room is because they're going to do personal care with him and they want to preserve his dignity. There's nothing nefarious that's happening in there.

They didn't give him a dose of something to kill him right away when you left the room. They're just trying to protect his dignity. And That's all there is to it. But you wouldn't be able to go into that comment section and respond to them by saying that because they would shut you down. They're not really wanting to hear that. They're just in their grief so beyond deep.

And they're just really enmeshed in their grief. It's become their whole personality to hate. And so I just ignore it most of the time.
