      I think it depends on the situation. There’s a time to be a hardass and a time to be kind.

      For example, 25 years ago I got a cut in hockey and went for stitches. Doctor said I needed a tetanus shot and I didn’t want it because I don’t like needles. Doctor proceeded to describe death by tetanus. It worked.

      What I would be expecting is someone who gives a shit about how the patients feel at least enough to phrase it in a non terrifying way. She knew what she was doing. While what she said was true, the odds that the girl would die from it were staggeringly low. She was just basically an asshole and left that part out.

      If you’re in the ER I’m not sure what else you’d be expecting.

      ‘bedside manner’

      this thread seems to basically just be about cheering on people who cause others deliberate mental anguish.
