Is it just me or do others secretly get a twinge of satisfaction when someone stands up and refuses to let others trample all over them?

I had a hospital appointment today which I wasnt looking forward to as the last time I saw these people they were taking advantage of the fact I was very ill and a little scared about what was going on. The two male nurses who were dealing with me I realised later were bullying and being a little threatening.

This time when I went into the reception I had a different attitude, the new me, and when yet another male nurse came over to me demanding personal information about why I hadnt done something I basically told him that I wasnt prepared to discuss the matter with him especially in a crowded waiting room.
Well the Doctor needs to know he replied.
Yes well, when I see the Doctor in private I will tell her.

I have every sympathy for people working in the health service and dealing with the public but this little upstart had no cause to be so stroppy with me in the waiting room.

Thats got that off my chest. 😔

What did the nurses do exactly that was "threatening and bullying".?
