I have been a nurse for 50 years. However, whenever, I read sad stories about families not following patient's wishes and hospitals without the back bone to see patient's wishes are followed I feel very sad for them. Have been their when this has happened and inside you hurt to see the patient suffer and the family that cannot stop something like this when another family member goes over the patient's wishes. Most of us have seen it occur more than once. Nurses do not fail patients in these situations when they give good, responsible, loving care as long as the patient is on their watch. Keep your head up and go forward caring and loving and helping those patients that are in situations they cannot help. God Bless you one and all.
