Thanks for all of the responses. I would not allow the worry about how anyone in the medical field perceived it to deter me, as the way I look at it is, if they want to talk negatively, it's lawsuit time and they're smarter than that for the most part.... I hope!
NurseSamGG, my wife is also a nurse, which is why it came up. I don't think she has encountered any of us where she works, but apparently the nurses do get a little gossipy about how some of their patients act toward the nurses sometimes. She doesn't tell me anything that happens, so as to to violate HIPAA. She just wanted me to know that they do occasionally discuss how patients act toward the nurses and worried it could come up in another hospital. But I like how you responded!
