Wife in Hospital

frothy said:
My missus had a freak fall last weekend and broke her hip very badly, it took the Ambulance 4 hours to get to our house, once there one particular Nurse treated her very roughly (my wife is a nurse but now works in research) she is going to be in hospital for a few weeks and the care she is getting is very hit and miss, Consultent tells her one thing about how she should start her phisio after and the phisios tell her something else and leave her feeling terrible when they make her get up on a zimmer frame so they can tick a box, it's making me very angry to see her so upset I'm going to end up in trouble telling the pricks what i think about what they are doing, most of the staff just sit in the hub on their mobiles ignoring the buzzer to let you in during visiting you have to wait until someone with a access card wants to go into the ward, it's certainly opened my eyes to the kind of people the NHS employ, if you've got a pulse you will get a job

You don't know how serious it is, it took 4 hours to operate on her and they had to get another Surgeon in to assist because of the mess her hip was in it wasn't fractured, it had broke into pieces, she knows they have to get you moving asap she is a Nurse and knows a lot more than you ever will, this was the day after surgery and after they tried to get her up she almost passed out because her blood pressure had dropped so much, and i will have as many rants as I want so keep your nose out

I was an acute trauma and orthopaedic nurse of some twenty years so yes i do know , i have also had multiple injuries , a brain injury and a smashed up shoulder in recent times and that was a shock to be on the other side so i understand , clearly you are upset but lashing out and the staff wont help . Ask the ward sister to go through it all with you

Firstly, sorry to hear about your wife - which hospital is she a patient of/in? I hope she makes a full recovery.
Strange you make the comment above. I was in MRI for 7 weeks with a serious leg infection recently, and spoke to 2 different Matrons in that time. Apparently, they have a darker blue uniform than Sisters, and neither were fat/obese. I did refrain from speaking to them in a "Kenneth Williams" voice - I didn't want any more laxatives!

OK what i should had said is they are more like managers now, she has been in a week now, quite a few staff nurses but haven't seen one that seems to be boss like they did when my wife was nursing on the wards
