Problem Solving At 2:00 Am In Medicinal Hell

Problem solving at 2:00 a.m. in medicinal hell The alarm's on the bed so I won't fall. Really I'm able to get to the bathroom. The Dr. told me it's okay. Says the nurse "it's not in your chart." I think: "God, please get me out of here", but if I get up, the bells with sound and an RN herd will race down the hall scolding me all the way like I was a little girl. Had their ways, I'd be straight-jacketed, (safe from harm, other than psychological), and the nurses could take off their clogs and stay at their station and chat. I think I'll wet the bed and buzz someone Problem solved. Kathryn Collins January 24, 2014 How narrow can you make a bed?

Guess they're all a little crazy. It was great to come out alive.

Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery... you sure hit the nail on the head with your comments. Hospitalization is NEVER easy! Love, Keith

Yes, and one shift of nurses tell you one thing, another shift another. Have you heard - people die needlessly in hospitals. Love, Old daver

I've been there, dear Kathy. One time they just left me out in the hall on a gurny - guess that's the spelling. Ah, but just try to go to the john by yourself. Love, Dave
