I am currently in the hospital here absolutely terrible. Had a total knee replacement. Last night i had to get on and off the bed pan 2 hrs after surgery by myself and when i got me sheets wet with urine and strip my bed placing them on the floor the nurse scolded me like a child for placing them on the floor.
Never mentioning that they did not respond to my call bell. Have been nauseated since Recover have told them what works for me which is ignored. Asked for ginger ale and it took 20 hrs for them to get me some. I am on the 5th floor and Dr Green of ortho is my doctor. Just 1hr ago they bought me bedside commode just left the room. So i got up by myself to go to the bath room less the 24hrs after knee replacement. And i will not go into the atitude of the staff. Never have surgery at the VA. By the way have i disclosed that i grad from UT and was a nurse for 30 yrs.
