Nurses Care in General

[ken1955]

Hello all. This is just a thank you for all the good nurses in this world. When I first came on this site I did have a bad outcome with 5 nurses. If you remember I came on in 2014 and had a horror story about a male nurse forcing a catheter in me with out permission. I will never forget that. Not only in the emergency department but when I was taking to my room they tried to get one in even after I told them no. It is over but I will remember it till I die. Over the last 3 years I have been in and out of the hospital for many things. I don't care what you do but ask me first and get my permission. I have papers that I carry with me now after my horror in the hospital. I have a stricture just before the prostate and my urologist told me that no one would have been able to get a catheter in. I don't see what the rush was I was being admitted to the hospital. Anyway. With me having many procedure done and surgery's the nurses have been great at 4 different hospitals. The last surgery I had was a 9 hour heart ablation. The nurses were very good and they were fast I never seen anyone move so fast. The only thing was that I had to have a catheter put in. I told them what kind ( coude catheter 14fr or smaller ) The 4 nurse in the procedure room never put in this kind of catheter. While they were shaving me to put the electric pads. I told them what my urologist told me. That the point has to go up facing me so it will go easier through the prostate to the bladder. They put it in after I was put out. She was very nice. And she laughed you learn something every day. Well it worked and I have not had any problems. Considering I was in the hospital 9 times last year. And this year nothing. I thank all the nurses. You work very hard at what you do and a lot of people to not respect that. I know my earlier problem they were trying to help me but there is a way to go through the procedure. Thank You...Thank You.
