OMG! I DO feel what you're going through. There really is no excuse for such insensitivity. Just recently, with my friend having open heart surgery; the nurses and doctors kept calling me or coming out to see with with constant updates, and even then, the Unit nurses on his floor knew where the patient was at all times and kept me informed. If they hadn't, I'd have lost my mind, as I almost lost it anyway what with all the stress. I hope you lodged a complaint with the hospital administration. I don't know about over there, but do you have a nursing shortage? I'm so sorry you had to endure this on top of everything else.  |

When my husband was in the hospital after getting hit by a car, I got there as soon as possible. Then they had me roaming all around the hospital because they could not find him. finally after an hour of waiting they finally found him in the ICU. I was going mad not being able to see him or knowing anything really. They really do need to learn to communicate better in hospitals.  |

thanks Cat for your reply hun, yes our hospital's are in a crisis right at this moment but our Prime Minister thinks that the word Crisis is too harsh....the hospitals are having to call back retired nurses to work in our hospitals as the younger generation is not going into nursing like they used to due to the fact that the pay is not up to scratch...and not only that, most of the nurses are casual staff and while I'm not condemning them because there are some wonderful nurses out there, the nurses at our hospital might only work one or two days a week and they dont get to know the patients history as each day Ted has a different nurse attending to him, he didnt even know that he was going on this test this morning and the nursing sister in charge gave him all his medications and he was supposed to be on Nil By Mouth...so there's no communication between the doctors and nurses here and its so frustrating for myself as well as Ted and it doesnt help his heart condition...thanks also to MMN and boy oh boy have I been venting lol!!!thanks My Precious Smeagol for your words also hun, yesterday when I went in to visit with him, you have to speak into an intercom system to ask to be let into ICU, and they told me that Ted wasn't there and when I asked where he was they told me they didnt know...well I panicked and then they told me that he was in there!!!! and thanks also to Punk Star Chik for your words here hun...I most certainly dont need any more on top of what I've been going through, I'll end up in the nut house....hugs to you all...  |

Oh my goodness Gramma!! That really angers me. They should have a much clearer "communication" there.. especially in Ted's case. They know you come there every day. AH! I am so sorry that this happened to you gramma. *hugs* .. They really need to buckle down, and start thinking ahead sometimes. I send my love your way gramma.  |

at our hospital where i work we have such a thing as a "concern memo"..see if your hospital has one, and you can put this is writing, and give it to the manager of the unit..it is so frustrating to famil memebers as well as patients when the communication is broken.  |
