That is incredibly rude. I can say coming from the POV of someone who is not nor has never been a restaurant server that I would never say anything as annoying as that. You guys work pretty damn hard and deserve a lot more credit than received.
A version of this happens to me all the time, and I'm an orderly. I know people are sick, but you'd think some people could have some basic manners for those trying to help them get better...
On a related note, I've noticed a lot more cashiers, servers, etc asking me how I am, and when I reply and then ask how they are, they don't reply. I'm not sure if they are just going through the motions, or are caught off guard by me treating them like a human being or what, but it's happening a lot more lately.
Just thought that I'd point out that it goes both ways.
