Much like you have a retort to every point? In any case, to quote Edward Gibbon: "I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect." That being said... I have...
I wouldn't consider asking a caregiver to cover me up after I had been exposed for over a half an hour after assessments had been done while multiple people (not related to my care) wandered in and...
I agree. You make a good point. And I'm sorry if my friend's tactics rubbed you the wrong way. Unfortunately, however, I wasn't aware of her "tactics" until after I posted. I have "spoken" to her...
Hi Mi Vida Loca (and others)... I actually appreciate your concern regarding personally identifying myself. I don't think that came across in my last reply to you. So thank you. However, personally...
Thank you for pointing this out, however, it's kind of an academic discussion at this point. Especially since I had already received a call from the Director of Nursing and quality assurance/customer...
Caliotter3... Why wouldn't I? Use my name that is. Or at least the first initial of my first name, my last name and my year of birth (which this year is also my age). It's pretty much the same...
amoLucia and VivaLasViejas... No, I'm not "snookering" anyone. I'll cut and paste part of my reply to Fiona59, which you quoted above, here: I did cover myself several times. When I was able....

I would like to thank everybody for their replies and suggestions. As I replied to Fiona59 earlier, I joined here, at the urging of an ED trauma nurse friend of mine, just to discuss/ask this. Her...
Mi Vida Loca and Vanilla Bean... Thank you for your suggestions. A letter or e-mail may be the way to go. Because it was embarrassing and would probably be even more uncomfortable and embarrassing...
Hi Fiona59... I did cover myself several times. When I was able. Unfortunately I wasn't in any shape to do that, or advocate for myself, most of the time. I was kind of counting on the people...
Hi ItsThatJenGirl... I don't want to get anybody in trouble. And I'll get over it. So no, probably not going to say anything. Other than ask my question here. Like I said to Mi Vida Loca, I have...
Mi Vida Loca... I wish I had of had somebody like you taking care of me. Somebody that remembers, or has had the experience of, being a patient as well as a provider. I think maybe sometimes that...
I did say something. On multiple occasions. I got the standard "I'm a professional, I've seen/done it a thousand times and checking out your "junk" isn't of interest to me" reply. Still doesn't...
