Hospital Troubles

My wife has never liked a hospital stay, she always has issues with either her treatment or her treatment by staff.

At this particular hospital I have noticed a few things myself. The staff does not seem particularly interested in the patient. They are not concerned much with the requests of the patient.

The patient that occupied the bed my wife was brought to was under the Northing By Mouth order, meaning no food or liquid. My wife is under no such limitation, quite contrary they want her to consume liquids and eat food. She asked the staff to verify with the doctors that she is fine to eat since she was very hungry. They agreed.

Hours pass by and nothing happened. Her doctor called her to see how she is doing and she complained about the nothing by mouth order. Her doctor said that he had not received a call regarding food but he would straighten it out. It took four hours but she finally got her food.

This is the type of treatment that my wife experiences from time to time
