    Yeah the part about you whining , yelling at the nurse, "what are you doing",  and "threatening to kill anyone who cut your sportsbra", sounds like good female bonding going on. Its kinda like the fun you can have at the airport when you ask the security guards, "Hey watch out for the bomb in my purse, just kidding!" ha ha ha, that is so much fun, everyone has a great time.  In American Hospitals, when patients and families are routinely threatening to "put a bullet in that doctor's head" (gee that happened last week to me) people do get a little touchey, and maybe they don't think your funny comments are those of a new best friend.   Beth
