I had to stay in BVH for 4 days , i was the perfect patient concidering i was put on a ward full of senile old ppl that kept me awake litrally all night , i didnt so much as complain once about it , i helped by shoutin the nurses if i saw another patient in distress , the nurses barring one were brilliant , they all kept sayin how sorry they were that i had to go without sleep for so long , i replied with its ok its not there fault or the old ladies fault so i got on great with them , Now for the bad bit , i got one perticular nurse that i cannot believe she was even a nurse with the way she treated me , i dread to think how she treats the poor old ladies that dont know what day it is. first off she asked what i was in for so i told her i had been bitten by a dog whilst trying to break a fight up , she said infront of my 11 year old daughter you should of left them one would of died , she said it in away like she wasnted the dog to die , my daughter keeps asking why the nurse wanted her pet dog to die , our dog has helped me get over depression after losing my best mate to suicide , ive had no meds or even been to see a doctor about my depression , i got a dog as therapy and he has helped no end , so you can imagine the bond i have with this dog , then the nurse looked at my eldest daughter who was sat beside my youngest and called her a scuff because she wasnt very well dressed , she wasnt very well dressed because she's pregnant and havin a real bad time with sickness , she rushed out to visit me as she was worried , she shouldnt have to put up with insults like that it really upset her, then about 20 minutes later my husband arrived and i was on the bed and you could see i was in pain but i had been in pain from the minute i arrived understandable concidering i had my finger neally bit off , i had been on morphine and tbh i was light headed and feeble with it , she said to me are you in pain and i said a little yes , she shouted at me infront of my husband sayin shes not a mind reader and that i should ask for pain relief , i didnt know what day of the week it was never mind if i was due for pain relief , i thought it was the nurses job to come round with the pain relief, well all the other nurses did that , and the odd time i did ask the others i was told to wait untill they came round, now im back at home and more on this planet i cannot believe that a nurse can getaway with speaking to ppl like this its disgusting , if i had elderly relatives on that ward 34 i would be very concerned , now i could of kicked off on the ward there and then but in all honesty i wasnt in any fit state i was very tearfull etc , plus i dread to think how i would of been treated if i had kicked up a fuss , so i didnt say a word i just let her insult us and i was very very polite , probebly more polite than most would be so i feel my family and myself have done nothing at all wrong
