Furthermore when having a nose blood, the nurse insisted upon me leaning my head back, which is entirely the wrong thing to do. I understand working in that environment can be challenging, but her attitude at the time disgusted me that I didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t feel I could rely on her for help.\n\nMy English and Child.D teachers however were Saints and I could never say a wrong thing about them.
