I am a 20 year leukemia patients. I have spent two long stints in-patient (NYPresbyreting and MSKCC) one for 6 months. From a patient's perspective, these are the bane of our existence. Nurses have told me the same. Yes you want them to be more sensitive than less, but tell that to the person who can't sleep nights on end because they beep throughout the night, upstream downstream occlusions, and others. Excruciating for the patient, and nurses have told me they go home after work and all they hear is the incessant beeping. It's well known unintended consequence that with all this beeping devices taking over in the haste to automate, nurses have no choice but to tune them out. So i have to ask, which is worse, more sensitive, or ignoring them all together? After over 10 years from my first experiences with them, is there no entrepreneur who can't make something better?
