Today, while trying to give an immunization to a "special" 13-year-old, I got spit on, kicked, almost bitten, and had a chair thrown at me. When it was all over, I flinched when the patient tried to hug me. Her mom called me a "b*tch" and I later found out she wasn't a "special" child. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went into an exam room to do a check-up on one of my patients. I told the little girl's mother that she needed her flu shots. When the girl heard this, she took an apple out of her pocket and threw it at me. FML
Today, while working in a blood drawing clinic, a mom sat in the chair holding her 4-year-old child, who kicked me square in the groin. Being a heavyset lady, I shrugged it off and collected the sample, while the child screamed, "Kicking worked on the last man that did this!" FML
Today, I had to give a 63 year old man a shot. He started bawling before I even brought out the needle. I tried to get him calm down. Then he grabbed the needle, threw it at me and ran out the door. FML
Today, for the second day in a row, I was constantly abused, yelled at, insulted, and berated by my wife for "endangering our child's life." I took her to the doctor for a vaccination and flu shot yesterday. FML
Today, a mother and son were in my office. The kid wasn't feeling well and threw up. Mom covered his mouth with her hand, creating a vomit nozzle and covering me in puke. She yelled that I deserved to be sprayed on because I was not quick enough in getting a bucket for her son. FML
Today, we had the cops called on us because my son was panicking so much about his first COVID jab, his older sister got fed up, took him outside, put him in a headlock and choked him unconscious so the nurse could jab him. Instead, the nurse called the cops. FML
Today, I was at the doctor and I had to get a fingerstick in the lab to get blood drawn. There was a 6 year-old boy waiting to go next. He was terrified. His mother told him to, "Watch this brave girl go first." I panicked and began to hyperventilate. The kid fainted. FML
Today, one of the children at my daycare came up to me and bit me on the face. He laughed so hard at my scream, that he threw up in my lap. FML
Today, I took my kids to the doctor. In the waiting room, a six year old boy walked up to me, punched me in the crotch, and ran away with my glasses. When the kid's parents made him give me my glasses back, he spat on them. FML
Today, while at work, I was asked if I wanted to leave early. I said no and let my coworker go instead. Two hours later, I was punched in the face by one of my patients, with absolutely no warning or provocation. FML

Wow, what a brat. After it was all over, you should have called security or something.

Unless you referred to her child as "special" to her face when he/she wasn't, I can't possibly imagine what reason the mother would have to be mad at you. After all, you put up with her kid's behaviour - if he/she wasn't "special" and still behaved that way, that woman must've done something wrong bringing up her kids...

Since when is there an "a" in Pediatrics?

Since it was spelt the British way. You know, a quick Google search, or reading some other comments would've already answered this question for you.

This is why I plan to work in A&E (The E.R for American readers) when I graduate med school, all my patients will be too injured to resist. (This was a joke. Please do not troll about how I will be an awful doctor)

YDI if it even happened! You work in pediatrics but can't even spell it...
Cinn_fml 23

I love how you spelt pediatrics wrong and you work in that unit.

Can no one read anymore? Paediatrics, caesium, aeroplane are some examples of words that are spelt with the ae in (some) English speaking countries that aren't the USA. Haemoglobin used to as well, but I think that one got the a removed.

You deserved it. You can't even spell the field of study you're in. Loser.

Parents need to parent.

Am I the only one that noticed that the OP said her mom, and he wasn't? Saying that the patient is a boy and a girl?

Nope, they use female pronouns throughout.

Soo...YOU'RE a bitch because her son is undisciplined? Yep. Makes sense.
