Im glad youve contacted PALS - Ive had to use them once before, and my daughter had to use them last week, and believe me, they get results, and fast! My understanding is that if a complaint is made, the person/department in question has to fully and satisfactorily justify their actions/behaviour/incompetence etc.... I hope that dreadful "Nurse" gets whats coming to her. I had one when I had my op, she was really nasty, but I managed to sort it out on the ward and she ended up coming and apologising to me directly - but that doesnt take away how she behaved and now Im dreading having her later on in the year when I go in for TKR #2......
Im glad youre back home, and getting the TLC you need and deserve - and I hope you manage to get/keep your pain under control.
Happy healing! xx

And what a shame the youngster missed out on your procedure, but nice to know that the instructor was forward thinking enough to video it.
Oh and Nuns..... enough said!

I remember hearing about a lady somewhere in a hospital who was being treated poorly. She took out her CELL PHONE and called 911 EMERGENCY! The emergency squad responded, and she had them transport her to a different hospital!
Some people might think this is crazy, but honestly, I think it was a BRILLIANT idea, and I applaud her for NOT taking any more crap from the first hospital!!!

I HAVE found, however, that I DO keep asking questions and am FAR MORE persistent than most people. This is increasing with my age, and I am learning to have a pretty LOUD voice when something isn't going right for me or for someone else. (I have ALWAYS been the one who gets in trouble for sticking up for others, and I am proud that both of my boys have also served detentions on numerous occasions because they DID THE RIGHT THING and stuck up for others who maybe didn't have the courage to stand on their own.)
I applaud ANYONE who sticks by their guns and speaks out when something is NOT going right. We tell our children to KEEP TELLING until SOMEBODY listens if there is injustice or abuse going on. We, as adults need to do that, too!
When we are patients in a hospital we are EXTREMELY VULNERABLE! We are COMPLETELY DEPENDENT on the anesthesiologist, the surgeon, the nurses, the aides, the lab technicians, phelbotomists, and all others who are caring for us!
Any care other than COMPLETE and CAREFUL care is UNACCEPTABLE!
I DO believe that as patients we owe everyone respect and kindness. We owe them PLEASE and THANK YOU. We DO need to understand that often they are stretched thin. HOWEVER, caring for us VERY VULNERABLE people who have just had major surgery REMAINS THEIR JOB and THEIR TOP PRIORITY.

I think I've been really fortunate to of only had one questionable experience over the course of my 3 operations so far since February. I have met and been helped by some brilliant Doctors and Nurses, all on the NHS. I couldn't fault any of them for their commitment to my care. I hope that I continue to have the same fortune and that any future experiences for you are much improved xx

When I was in for my TKR in Feb I met some lovely nurses and had the help of a brilliant physio. When I had failed surgery last week, the nurses all remembered me and gave me hugs. The physio saw me and came over to thank me for a card I sent him back in Feb, he had checked my file and tried to offer me some words of comfort now I'm facing more surgery. Knowing how nice most of the staff are at my hospital, it takes away some of the apprehsion I have about having a huge surgery in the future.
I think it's great that you're taking your matter further. Imagine how many others, who don't have the family support like you, have suffered at her nasty hands? Also it isn't a good reflection on the rest of the staff at your hospital who do their job exceptionally well. Good on you x
