Hospitals

It is amazing how many technological advances there are in the field of medicine. Bothersome part is the doctors feel you don't need to know anything unless they feel like telling you or you are courageous enough to keep asking until you get the answers you need.
Nursing staff is so caring and tender until you get the one that is perfunctioning her job without a degree of care. For the most part, the care is tremendous. However, the bruises and unnecessary pain is heartwrenching.
As you may can tell by now, I have a loved one in the hospital dealing with some serious issues. There is a bruise on the upper right shoulder that noone seems to know how it got there. A 10x3 inch bruise on the right wrist area, a matching one on the left arm and then the left elbow the stomach from a shot given wrong. Needles everywhere, machines, alarms, pumps.
You feel so helpless except for being able to hold her hand, fix her hair, bring stuff like books, robes, more books, kleenex that doesn't scratch your nose, toothpicks.
It is not a burden, just wish you could take it all away from the patient and accept the pain for her.
I can hardly wait to see how the "new plan" will effect medical care. I am hoping for improvements in the system but I have a wait and see attitude.
Having recently been in the hospital myself, the cost is overwhelming and my stay was for a nite. How about 33K +. Now mom is in for her 12th day not counting the two previous stays. Gap perscription already sucks and now they won't pay for the medication to keep her from being nausea and vomiting during treatment. $100 a pill. Is that rediculous or what!!
I am praying there is an alternate drug or maybe the side effects won't be so bad.
