"Too much care" eh? I remember when a nurse thought that my husband was getting "too much care". When I asked her a second time for a blanket, (he was going into shock) I was informed by Ms paper pusher that she "had other patients".

She was rather shocked when I leaned over the counter and snapped, "Look here Barbie, I'm not married to any of your other patients. Where are the blankets?"

She turned red, the lady behind her laughed and said, "I'll show you where the warmer is hon."

Most hospitals have them in the room. Look around next time. Those high paid nurses have to spend extra time typing everything into a computer. Besides they have to work 12 hours for three days so they can work at another hospital for 36 more hours. Have some compassion for these bastards.

It took me >24 hr to convince the ER that my appendix needed to be removed. The surgeons asked why I waited so long....

As an old retired nurse, I just fell in love with you...people need to speak up when such dumb things are said....The only thing is it should be followed up with a letter of compaliant to the Director of Nursing...I have knows some bitches that have no business working with patients...they were few but like any other business, their are jerks everywhere,
