Sometimes they deserve it.
When I was in the hospital with my foot thing the Surgeon told me that if I wanted to keep my foot to stay reclined and only get of out the bed to use the restroom period.
A physicial therapist came in and got all huffy on two separate occasions. Wanted me to get out of bed and go walking up and down the hallway. Told him only if the doctor told me it was okay.
Then I got a visit from the head nurse. She told me that she had ordered the physical therapy and I should do it. Told her the surgeon said to stay in the bed unless I wanted to lose my foot. She left in a huff as well.
At one point the Surgeon and a Doctor from the drug company where putting the magic powder stuff on my foot. While they were explaining it to me this obviously administrative head nurse came in and started barraging me with stupid questions. Basically the stuff all already answered in my file.
After interrupting the Doctors a couple of times they ask her what the h she was doing there. Said they were preforming a sterile procedure. Yelled at her to get out. I never saw her again.
The Surgeon told me that if I had done the physical therapy and walking like she had ordered he would have ended up having to amputate my foot about halfway from my knee to my ankle. Said I was luck he was on call when I came in and was one of the first people they used that new fairly dust stiff on.
