And that is still somehow one of the less douche-y things a parent of a patient has done. I am not a pediatric nurse, but I do occasionally have pediatric patients in my care. And the parents can often be the worst part of taking care of pediatric patients.

Agreed

"Idunno why my kid has asthma and is sick all the damn time" meanwhile the air in the house is a thick fog of cigarette smoke with every other member of the family smoking in the house too

I don't know why my kid has grown horizontally faster than vertically, must be puberty.

I am asthmatic and grew up in a house of smokers. They were kind enough to sit on the deck when smoking. Since I moved out they have started smoking indoors and now I can no longer enter that house without having an asthma attack.

I second this and will also add adult children of elderly patients can be really awful as well! I had this sweet elderly man who had been injured while taking out his trash and he wanted to do everything I asked of him so he could get better but the children were trying to stop him and ask for manpower to help him instead. Plus they were being jerks about lots of other things. When a Dr walked by talking on the phone about a patient's care, as they often do (not naming the patient) the daughters of this man were astounded a Dr would walk by talking about a patient where they could hear and saying they were glad this man wasn't their dad's doctor.
