My friend (whose name I'll leave private) had pseudomonas infected wounds on both shins, uninfected wounds on both thighs from where they had to graph skin to cover the shins, and formerly pseudomonas infection in wounds on both hands. During dressing changes, my friend didn't always want to do all 6 to 8 wounds at one time because it was painful. My friend also has trouble walking because the right shin had to have dead bone removed, with a muscle stretched from the back of the shin to cover the front under the skin graft. Given that this caused trouble walking, my friend has trouble making it to the bathroom. Therefore my friend sometimes disconnects the IV Pole so that my friend can focus on holding their Walker and not pulling the pole to the bathroom. My friend could be lethargic, only staying awake 6 to 8 hours, and the infectious disease doctor I assumed this was actually very good and that my friend is lucky to be awake 4 hours a day. The nurses however assumed I must be bringing my friend sedative drugs. So after 48 days in the hospital, a top nurse wanted to put my friend on a behavior contract saying however much longer my friend was in the hospital, my friend would have no visitors, allow a nurse to change the dressings on all wounds at one time with no breaks between each wound, and never disconnect from the IV pole. So after waiting around for 2 hours to see that nurse(charge nurse or nurse manager); the charge nurse, nurse manager, my friends assigned nurse, my friends tech, and the head of security (William Begett) finally arrived in my friend's room. By this point my friend and I had had decided that I would record the conversation and take notes where necessary. Suffice it to say they did not like being recorded and my phone ended up getting broke by Head of Security William Begett, along with William Begett trying to cover my camera.
