Oh man last time I was in hospital I had a bloody rough time of it.
Shall we count up what happened?
2 blood tests an hour for 12 hours, then 3 for the last 12 hours of my stay.
A student doctor didn't cap my drip so I spurted 1 pint of blood all over me, my bed, and half the ward.
Aforementioned student doctor didn't think that draining my arm of 1 pint of blood would mean you wouldn't be able to get any more blood for a while, from that arm anyway. He proceeded to stick me with the same needle for 20 minutes, trying to find a vein to tap. I told him to swap arms and he didn't listen to me, then when he finally did he got blood first time around. But he did it with the same needle. (You shouldn't use the same needle more than twice).
A different student doctor did exactly the same thing.
A nurse put my drip up when I was told that it should go down instead, because that was what the doctor said- I told her that and she ignored me. I went hypo.
Student doctors poking me when I'd had 2 hours sleep because they didn't move my bed till half 3 in the morning.
Student doctors crowding round me when I was crying to ask me personally invasive questions for their paper. They could have waited 5 minutes for me to calm down.
And that was just to me. Shall we see what happened to other people?
Elderly woman asked for water and didn't get any for an hour. I gave her mine in the end, because she started coughing.
A nurse on my ward knocked a jug onto a sleeping patient. The patient woke up and the nurse told her she was "making it up".
Another woman started bleeding in bed and was calling for nurses. They didn't come. She stood up to try and get nurses and slipped in her blood. The nurses yelled at her after I went to get them because she was bleeding. They yelled at her because she'd moved to try and get them to stop her from bleeding.
