Experience in PS really shocking. My 84 year old father with Alzheimer's was hospitalized on Monday in Ps after request from our attending physician. After a wait of about four hours, the doctor on duty diagnoses an intestinal obstruction, arranges a series of further investigations (chest x-ray etc ..) and then informs me that he will carry out an enema and to try to unlock the intestine and evaluate if administering antibiotics as intestinal infections could arise. It is therefore necessary to keep my father overnight in a room in PS in conditions that are certainly not comfortable. The next day I introduce myself as established in PS, but the nurse in charge of the control access despite having informed her that my father is suffering from Alzheimer's and spent the night in observation, he makes me wait two hours waiting. Then I went to a room where a nurse tells me that they had just practiced a second enema in when the first had had no effect in the night. When I asked to be able to confer with a doctor, I was told that the doctor was not plausible and that in any case they would have phoned me as soon as the situation had `` unlocked ''. After returning home after hours of waiting I decided to phone and after a couple of attempts I was able to speak with the new doctor on duty who in a Italian quite stunted tells me that my father's situation is unchanged and they will make themselves heard in case of news. After another 4 hours the aforementioned doctor calls me saying that the situation is stabilized..the patient has been rehydrated..and that I would have prescribed physiological solutions and enemas to be carried out at home with ADI ... therefore I ask if the problem of intestinal occlusion had been solved..and the kind doctor answers candidly ..which not .... for the moment the enemas have had no effect .. but probably at home ... maybe ... surely.In summary ... 36 hours in PS ... and everything as before!
PS .... in the discharge documents it is reported that the patient has evacuated.
