this is goin to be a rant, sorry.
Went with my sister to A+E last night as she suffered concusion after hitting her head. I was asked to leave the premises if i could not control my anger.
Sat in a room with my sister for a good couple of hours, being ignored, i wouldn't mind if the nurses we're busy, but i was listening to a conversation between nurses ( wrong i know ) but all she was talking about was how she couldn't be bothered to be at work. Fine.
Then went on to listen to a doctor turn around and say to a nurse
"if he won't eat shove it down his throat, and if he wants to walk to stoke let him, i'm not in the mood to stop him."
Found it out of order got very annoyed. Anyway went out to find a nurse to find out what was going on with my sister, to find the doctor from the conversation taping her heel, whilst listening to an oldish gentlemen. she then turned walked over to a nurse and went
"he's losing his marbles, what am i ment to do its recorded he ha dementia, so just wait till the morning and send him home, but till them try and keep him in a room, i've got a headache and don't care about whether we're at war."
So me not being able to control my temper any longer told the dr
that i thought she was out of order, and that she has absolutly no right to treat someone like that. Her reply followed if you do not calm down and leave the ward i will be calling security.
So this is just a rant as i'm very annoyed that people with dementia can be talked about like this, with out a care in the world.
Hope all of you and your families are ok.
