So I just recently started volunteering at a hospital emergency room. I've only been there 2 days so far (8 hours total) but I have to say that I was quite alarmed at how repulsive some of these patients are.
Quite often we'll have patients who are obnoxiously loud and aggressive, hideously overweight and unkempt, and annoyingly obtuse at times (one lady flat out refused to give a urine sample even though the doctor said it was necessary to proceed to the next step of the diagnosis). One time...
Is patient exposure necessary during clinical volunteering?
