So once again I am here shaking my head of the quality of nurses having to deal with in this day and age. I have said before they are ***y bossy and their word is golden. My newest experience husband was ordered an endoscopic ultrasound with small needle aspiration on his pancreas. They called, made the appointment and sent me instructions. As Im reading these instruction Im saying to myself this is not right. He was scheduled for a rectal ultrasound for the prostate. After many calls and got the procedure corrected I was told the nurse made an error. Really no one checks the nurses? Had I not been knowledgeable and caught this he would have had a procedure not necessary and wrong, then would have to go again to have the proper procedure done. Loss of confidence happens in these cases. I do not want this nurse anywhere near my husband on the day of his procedure as she is is incompetent. Mistakes like this are what pisses me offl We all have made mistakes but scheduling the wrong procedure is unforgivable. ***** guys please go back to be compassionate caring and double checking your moves
