Stupid, stupid people.

There is never a shortage of what I call stupid people. Stupidity has its levels. Some folks will never use the word stupid as it is a harsh criticism of someone who doesn't know any better but that's for another blog. I'm not even talking about disabled people here. They are not included. I am talking about normal people who functions without assistance.

Low level stupidity comprise of smart people who involves themselves on things they don't know. With a little research and teachings, their stupidity diminish with time. I've found myself in this category a lot. My short attention span saves me from being permanently in this category.
Middle level stupidity are those who are smart challenged. No matter what you do, nothing will happen. I know a few CNAs (nursing assistants) like this. They are constantly unable to digest common instructions. They often have that blank stare when you tell them specific tasks. They seem to be trying to find a way out but they are so dumb they can't find any reason for them to argue their point. I enjoy interacting with them as I love watching that brain grinds into a halt and just surrender to my commands. Bwahahaha! Can't blame these peeps as they fill the jobs no one will do. Smart CNAs are well oiled machines of nursing care. They have a plan and direction with their work. Requires no assistance and instructions. The dumb fuckers are the ones who requires constant assistance as they are rotted, rusted pieces of rejected humanity.

Then there is the high level stupid peeps. These folks appear intelligent but the more they say the worst they sound. I call this high level because these peeps look smart but they are not. They can be nice looking but that brain in that skull is missing synaptic connections that comprise intelligence. They don't even have that dumb look. Very interesting folks here, the good thing is that I don't see these types often. They are frustrating to deal with. Conversations with these peeps require constantly dumbing down of the basic concepts of what ever you are trying to discuss. Basic is basic, can't go lower than that. Some in the performing arts belongs to this category and most models are possibly members too.

Where is this leading too? Patients family. This can be anyone. Unfortunately, the trait appears when they try to outsmart a really smart nurse, me. The first specie is the Mexicanus stupidita. No offense to our great neighbors from the south but unfortunately for every culture is this embarrassing specie. She argues with nurses with gazillion of experience and tells me how to run a hospital. Too stupid to realize that she sounds and looks very very stupid when she was telling me about her suggestions. Don't tell pros what to do with your stroked out mom. We take care of her with out most importance and with daughters like her around, degrades our work to nothing. She calls at night and harrass the nurse with questions only this specie can conjure out of thin air. She does it with a bad attitude that if I was on the phone, I will most likely have a poor connection and will auto disconnect. Screw this idiot, my time is important, so I called the supervisor to deal with her stupid arse. The "super" later told me she wanted me replaced but he stood firm and did not switch nurses in the middle of the shift. Other spine less supers would have balked and agreed to her.

The second specie is the Caucasianus stupidito. This fucker of a specie is one that pisses the all knowing nurse, me. When my patient jockingly requested not to have a room mate and I jockingly but seriously responded I can't promise that. This moronic subspecie of idiots responded with a pissed of attitude of "why not, there are a lot of empty rooms" type of answer and was yelling. I reponded with a " why are you arguing with me" snap and high volume to react to this scum of the septic tank, to out shock him alla shock and awe by the Bush administartion Iraqi strategy. Then a quick exit to let the shock sink in, in his shallow stupid brain. bwahahaha. I love to toy with these idiot. So when his mother called for a bed pan, he was smart enough not to call me. The good thing was this specie knows not to mess with me again as he didn't bother me when I wasn't making eye contact with him. Well, there is also that pissed off look on my face. hihihi

Last but not least is the Caucasianus moronsia. A female spouse of a really VIP person who tries to act smart but her former perfume puffer gene at Macy's is hard to conceal from all the facelifts this genius has accumulated in the past. Why I know she used to puff perfumes at a retail store where she met her now invalid husband that was blown by and IED in Bashra? She told another nurse. (snickering laugh) This c*nt will not leave us nurses alone. Knowing she was a hard nosed idiot, I just ignored her requests and slammed her suggestions to the ground. She called me once to suggest that her hubby aspirated. I went to the room, introduced myself and told her that the patient seems fine. I educated her about aspiration but nothing sinks in so I graceully slammed her. She then tried to order me around by asking me to turn her hubby. i told her i'm still addressing the aspiration issue. I can see the frustration in her stupid face. The patient was getting pissed off too. Then the doctor arrived and the patient told his wife to leave him alone and for me to leave him alone too. I made a quick salute and a smile and left. The VIP is a general and a doctor who was building a children's hospital in Bashra when his Humvee was blown up by a roadside bomb IED (improvised explosive device triggered by cell phones). He is now a quad with a large gap in his brain. Lucky to still be alive but his sensations is hypersen sitive. His skin can feel everything, even a small fold on the linen, so he needs constant turning.

I met his daughters and they are really nice and good looking too. They laugh at my jokes which makes them special to me. They are treated like crap by their step mother/perfume puffer. They were told to stay out for an hour before seeing their father. He wasn't doing anything important, he was eating lunch. Let them in, they traveled far. One came from Seattle and the other came from San Diego. The patient uses a pseudo name but his daughter left her card in the room and with Google I found out who he really is. He gave me info like who he worked for and with that and the daughter's last name I found out who he really is. He is a VIP and it's an honor to take care of him. I try to tell the CNAs who sits with him 8 hours a day not to take him personally as he is a traumatic brain injury patient. He can be verbally rough with them as he is sick. The CNAs are getting burned out with him. I don't blame them. 8 hours a day, one on one with him and his idiot wife. Arrgh.

Okay enough of this. So if you guys have time, check it out. Project Hope.
