It doesn't matter if I'm 100% right and/or the other person is completely deranged; I still take it very, <i>very</i> personally. It haunts me for hours -- sometimes days.

In fact, you come across as someone who's deeply caring and committed to your family and your patients. Don't let the jerks get you down.

I'm old, and one thing I definitely have learned is that there are people who leap to label you a 'bad person' no matter what you do or what you say. There seldom is any way you can change their minds because they like being nasty at every opportunity, thank you very much. You double their pleasure whenever you let them know you're hurting. They simply aren't worth the attention we give them. So many of us enjoy your writing and are grateful you put in the effort. Just for the record, I greatly appreciate your blog and your honesty.

Others are probably suffering from 'bring them down syndrome' that they have no good words for other people. I'm not sure but perhaps there's something wrong there - genes, psychological well-being, etc.? We could put forward differing views in civilised manner, oh that's if they're civilised. You can reject if you're bothered by it. We don't come here to blog and be lectured upon by some warped minded people Besides, this is your personal space. Cheers!

I remember a time when I first started blogging I would get hateful comments and then I realized that's just part of the beauty of living in a free society. Freedom of speech. But then I remembered it's my blog damnit and my thoughts, and to say what I felt was right and take what anyone else says with a grain of salt. I love reading your words and thoughts. I have for the past few years. You're one of my favorites and I'd be proud to have you as one of my nurses should the occasion arise. (which I hope never does, but you know what I mean) Blogging excitement comes in waves. The thing is you gotta remember it's about you and for you as a release. Hmm.

Which you did. I'm sorry, if it was me. I'm sorry even if it wasn't. You are not mean. If you could find it in your heart to forgive me, know that I have learned a valuble lesson.

Sorry occasionally I get you confused with Kim. Just so you understand, and know I've not blowing smoke here-- I've been working in the online community and social networking field now for about 20 years, along with another life in hospital administration--- which honestly makes me a weird duck. What I'm seeing you and many of the health care community go thru' is the first phase of growth that comes from writing and participating online. What you and many others are coming to grips with is that once the euphoria wears off, you need to understand the real reasons you blog. It has to be for you, and you need to get something out of it in the long run. You're an adult and you know that in real life people are going to disagree with you. It's no different online, except some people lash out in unacceptable ways they would never do in the real world. With those folks you need to develop a thick skin and excise them from your life, like you would a boil. Otherwise they will drive you nuts. I've found your blog reveals you're honest, loving and caring person, wife and mother. You've taught me that health care isn't the same throughout the world in ways most non-USA nurses would never understand. And that you have given me hope that there are many compassionate RN's still out there. I do hope you keep this blog running-- take time to breathe if you need to, but your insight is valuable! Big Blog Hugs! Mary Lu May, I’ve been following your blog for sometime now. Sorry occasionally I get you confused with Kim.

Just so you understand, and know I’ve not blowing smoke here– I’ve been working in the online community and social networking field now for about 20 years, along with another life in hospital administration— which honestly makes me a weird duck.

Hurtful comments are hard to read and hard to hear. I've been there, too. I think you're a great blogger and a great nurse. Something that I tell myself during times like these (and it's tough) - that even though there are a few people out there who post hurtful comments, there are many more out there (the lurkers) who don't comment, but keep returning to read what I have to say. Finally, I blog for me, and me only. There is no way to please everybody and that's not why I blog. I have a voice and this is how I express my voice. I hope the fun returns for you....
