I also think nurse was wrong to do that.

It does sound like demonic possession. Especially since your senses were detecting something. That stuff is real.

It would’ve creeped me out. Would be glad to have my CROSS displayed. :)

I absolutely cannot ..will not …EVER watch a scary film. I couldn’t handle the fear. I refused to even see the Exorcist…Freddy Krueger and Halloween films, which are probably tame compared to current films. I know people like to be scared …but I can’t stand the fear. War movies,legal,dramas,suspense – not evil or sick is okay and COMEDIES the BEST. :) I just cannot handle the evil/sick stuff. Only made it halfway through 7 and hate the memories of the images I saw. Also refused to watch Silence of the Lambs.

It would be pointless to even try to watch because my head would be buried under something anyway.

It’s a Wonderful Life – my favorite. Ahhh just typing that helps me feel better after reading this post. I’m off to bed now too and would much rather things of an Angel getting his wings. :)

All I can say is his ED course was secondary to a 8″ knife.

Doing hospice years back, I saw a lot of deaths, and most of them got a look of joy when they died, like a four year old seeing the Christmas tree with the presents lit up at dawn on Christmas.

One—only one—-patient, nasty guy with no family or friends, got a look of horror on HIS face when he left. Not sure where he was or who he was seeing, but I seriously pray that I never, ever find out!

I’m very glad you put a stop to it.
