Good question! I am sorry you experienced this mistreatment. Unfortunately it is common in healthcare. While there are many variables at play, a lot of it has to do with empathy burnout and or compassion fatigue. Basically where the nurses lose the ability to empathise and instead hold a negative distaste for patients.
