and not realize they just did that.

And then act astonished if you react with tears or anger.

Empathy free zone, that nurse person.

Single dads are the best people. Everybody says so.
Except that zero empathy nurse, of course.
Special place in hell reserved for her, I'm sure.

You are the dad on the spot and in her life, the only one.
That's the important bit, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Real or adopted, doesn't matter. Not to me, not to your daughter. Not to anyone.

But yes, I've had some negative interactions of late with hospital nursing staff, over the phone.
Bit stressed at the moment, I guess. Doesn't excuse anything though.
