The people in ER are angels for the most part, and he was not an easy or agreeable patient. Maybe that comes from being sick a long time, because he was a really nice man when he was well, and loved by everyone. Sick folks can be difficult. He didn't live long enough to make it here, and this was his dream place. God rest his soul.
So sorry for your loss. Yes sick patients can be difficult but any nurse knows how to deal with that and nobody is more compassionate than I am. That was not what I was referring to.
