We had a spous...Yay for being done with your call!<br /><br />We had a spouse that was like your second scenario recently. He wasn't verbally abusive, exactly. He just wanted to control every single detail of the surgery and anesthetic that he could, and was a giant jerk to deal with. Several people said that he was a classic narcissist, but I wondered whether he was just freaked out /conflicted about the procedure his spouse was about to have. Even if it's not true and he's actually a jerk, thinking that his behavior was a maladaptive coping mechanism helped ME to deal with him compassionately, and more pragmatically, made things go more smoothly. Patients can sense when you're fed up with them, and it does nothing to facilitate care. OMDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937425894428802591noreply@blogger.com
