   Come back once you get through nursing school, pass your boards, and actually work as a nurse and THEN tell me what you think. Again, is yelling at a patient's family member appropriate? Is thrusting a piece of paper with a funeral parlor's name on ...

   I am not debating. I am pointing out there is another side and I think that irritates you.

   And I find her comment offensive about nurses being burned out, just because they don't agree with her stance. I'm a new grad working in an ICU and I'm no where near burned out, I just see things from the pt's side, the healthcare members side, and t...

   Thank you for your kind words. I really do care for my brother. You see, he is an extremely skittish and gentle person. I am the *****..lol. I have mentioned it before but his friend was medicated properly. My brother had requested that she not be s...

   Until you are actually a nurse and faced with these situations (and believe me you WILL be faced with them), you have no idea why the nurses and docs and other members of the healthcare team responded the way they did. I don't have to be a nurse to u...

   I am 100% supportive of HCPs being straight and honest. Had the nurse told me brother, "Your friend is going to suffer if you do XYZ" that would have been one thing. Instead, she resorted to namecalling like a two year old.

    I do have one question: This lady died within 5 days on the onset. Honestly, could hospice have been set up during this time, keeping in mind that two of those days were Sat and Sun?

    While we are not certain that the medical staff meant harm, we are not certain that they did not mean harm either. It could go either way. I do think an apology for their behavior is called for and hope that my brother gets it. Those nurses were the ...

    Again, thank you all for your thoughts and insights. Many of you are right....none of us were there to see what happened. All I know is what my brother told me and I know him as a credible person. So,I tend to believe him. After reading some of the p...

    I'm not really sure what your intentions are, but if it obvious that when you realized the majority disagreed with you that you became hostile and argumentative. Who is being hostile? I did not say that I disagree or do not appreciate or insights. I ...

    I never said he wanted pain medication to be limited so that she would suffer. Must a person be unconscious on pain meds for them to work?

    Yes, I find what was written to be very rude. My point is what actually gets said & what is the caregiver hears (both words and tone)is not always the same thing due to their stress with the situation. I did remind my brother of that and he told...
