Your bc nurse sound like 1 i had.
Well I told the manager nurse person on a 1 to 1. That I had a letter of complaint drafted about the debarcle of stupid mistakes, about the pi$$ing competion that was going on amoung them all.
The fact a senior nurse felt my lump and so blaze sed " oh thats benine, I can tell with feel of it) STUPID BITCH and it would not take much for me to post it naming said nurse to the nursing and midwiffery council
Been on there toes ever since.
Cannon said earlier that nurses, me included, need to be a patient in training. I agree. Iv found they dont treat you as individuals. Well they do me from there on.
Put your foot down and leave it there, they have not a clue what this bastard disease does to you. Yeh they know there onions, were this, that and other os concernd ,im not knockin that.
They have learnt all this of people like us.
AND we are individual, yes we have a great understanding.
Individuals

One of our wardens lives in the same road Snowys Mum , and always popped in if she'd not seen me on Sunday just to make sure I was ok. We have a new vicar coming next month, our last one is now Dean (in Salisbury I think).

Thanks All, I'm not down in the dumps about it at all, just not impressed that I picked it up a fortnight ago and have only just found out that it should have been sorted! I imagine that leaving it to get worse will not have done me any favours. I am honestly fine though, feeling really well, full of energy and looking forward to getting back to work. I can taste food again, have an excuse to keep my weight up, (diep flap needs the fat) and my hair, eyebrows and lashes are growing back! All is good and I really shouldn't moan about something that we all know can be sorted out! Sorry, xxx.

...oh dear,it sounds like the Nurse with the ultrsound fingers picked on the wrong one with you!!
i do feel that nurses should be patients as part of their training...in fact it was by being a patient in my late teens that made me become a nurse.I also have to say....nurses make the worst patients when on the other end !!after a lifetime of working in the NHS as a Nurse and also Nursing Assistant,I like to feel we know good nursing when we see it!!
i was pretty awful as a patient...first of all my first dressing was done by a nurse with LONG FINGERNAILS!!(imagine!!)...I told a Staff nurse off for touching my scar without washing her hands....
oh dear...I must have nbeen the pain of the Nursing Staff!!one night I heard a poor disabled man in the next room crying out in pain for ages and had to call the Nurse,altho she could hear him....
I think I had a wee OCD thing with germs when I worked ....Anyway...ahhhh...memeories......I did do my Training...but after a while had asked if I could work as a Nursing Assistant as I didnt like thise angry patients/rels ,etc...and it was all a bit too much for me....but I was a frustrated Matron all my nursing life !!!!!!x
Im right you on every single one of those Violetsniff
Your right they should wash there hands it takes a minuet or 3
I did my training too, noked it on hed yrs ago, because of the forever changing goal posts and such. Quite happy now as h.c.a.
No its not being awkawrd its them lot letting themselves down.xx
