Review of nanaimo regional hopital

I was admitted to the ER unconscious and dehydrate...

I was admitted to the ER unconscious and dehydrated so naturally I was pumped full of fluids. Once I woke up I had to pee really badly, so after asking a few times I was brought a wheelchair toilet thing with a plastic bag in it that collects your pee, like a potty on wheels.
I had to pee a lot. I was attached to some IVs and when I asked the nurse could they help me get out of the bed, they did the first couple times then after that just kept getting mad and speaking to me sternly like I was a child that I had to stay in bed. umm if a patient has to go, denying them the bathroom is Not healthy. So I kept climbing over the side and getting in trouble. whatever; I also am aware it's a busy place with a lot going on, but dipping over the side of my own bed literally 6" away to pee shouldn't've been seen as such a huge deal.
The thing that bothered me was when my assigned nurse asked another nurse to give him a hand with wheeling the toilet away, she came in and got it and when she turned around and wheeled it out, she exclaimed very loudly, "It's Full, Like A Gross Clogged Toilet!" Publicly humiliating patients. .. who the hell does she think she is..
She has short brown hair in a ponytail and glasses. I was outraged. Lady, why would you be a nurse if you can't even handle a toilet?
FOLLOW UP I submitted a formal complaint to the College of Nurses and to the patient care quality control office. Only the college of nurses take this seriously. I was told 2 weeks ago that the manager of the ER or her boss would get back to me.. still not a word. I'm looking to move away from this atrocious hospital so I have ago better chance of being treated with respect as in my condition I have to rely on ER's
