   Thank you, put in that perspective it makes total sense. I would never do something like that, but how could the nurse know. Thank you for explaining that in a clear way.

   Thank you Mizfradd. I am attempting to do that very thing yet it takes much time. If need be I will pay for it myself, yet money is limited (though I'm trying). I wish I would have stayed in school rather than be an artist... Well, I like being an ar...

   One further thing, after being here I will be seeing a urologist and a neurologist if need be.

   There should have been a comma between field and yet. Like this. I am not in the medical field, yet I would respectfully like to ask a quick... It should have been written like that. I was in the ER for the kidney stones and went through the proces...

   Do you believe that I went in and told them that I thought I was having a heart attack, and had series of tests, xrays, and spent all night in and out of the waiting room for a kick as well? Allow me to ask this, If a middle age woman came in with ch...

   I have been reading the "nursing pet peeves" section and I must say, that should be required reading for all patients and their families before admittance. LOL. My respect for all of you has gone to an all new level. I could never have imagined all t...

   Dishes, What could I do to get a neurological test? And do you or anyone else have a suggestion on financial assistance for the test? I am sorry to ask so many questions but it can be a maze sometimes out there. Cherex, I was scared, very scared. I ...

    Sorry I was unclear in my posts. I was very quiet and kinda wishy washy when I asked her. I was very unsure of myself. As for the word diaper, I guess I thought it would be mo big deal to call it that as I felt they must have heard it before. It seem...

    Thanks for the info, that makes sense. I have to ask, you said " its not like they are purposely doing it. (usually)". Are there really people who wet on purpose? Why would they put themselves and others through that? Or were you kidding. Have a grea...

    I understand now that I should have told them everything the moment I was first seen yet I only spoke as to why I was there at that moment. I did go to a urologist and other than being given a surprising prostate exam I discovered nothing new. I have...

    That is how I was feeling that the situation may have interpreted as, and why I didn't press for help. I knew that they did have a long night and I was embarrassed as is.

    Thank you for the reply, I actually asked something similar to "could you give me a hand? I don't want to mess up all these wires," yet she just told me that if it's too much trouble I could disconnect the wires and left. I didn't as I wouldn't kno...

    Thank you in advance as I feel like a bit of an intruder here. I am incontinent (urinary) and was recently in the E.R. for chest pains. While I was there I informed the nurse of my condition and asked for diapers (as I had waited much longer to get a...
