:: impending pt complaint ::middle aged old lady, with UVP (utero-vaginal prolapse) came back to the wards after her operation... arrived around 12+... complained of pain...
it is now 3pm... (as u can see from my post), and the nurses are all passing reports.
as i approached the lady, intending to clerk her, i could see her biting on her own index finger... all curled up... she was obviously in pain. and a lot of pain. she was so desperate for some pain killers... they'd told her hours ago, that they'd give her a jab, since she was still NBM (cannot take oral yet). and wait she did...
wait... wait... wait...
and wait... somemore...
so i went to tell the nurses who said: already told staff nurse, they're getting the medicine.
(of course i din dare to approach the staff nurse, she was passing reports, which if u all dunno yet, is a SACRED almost ritualistic process. if i were to interrupt, i would become the sacrificial lamb...)
husband and son came... by then poor lady was biting on her own finger (the pain on the finger can distract the pain at her op site i suppose) and clinging onto the handrails by the bed!!!
and so, i told the husband, go bug the staff nurse (now as we know, visitors won't be sacrificed/yelled at/banned from the wards)... he apparently was quelled by the queen dragon, and approached the ward clerk instead.
rude, stupid clerk barely acknowledged his presence and turned to talk to a nurse! HOW RUDE IS THAT?!?!?! i wish tt man had yelled for her attention. sigh. when are the patients who know their rights when we NEED them?
i wonder... when on earth are they going to give her the jab.
i think i'll go route out the clueless HO. keep seeing her flit lef flit right, i bet she isn't doing anything useful lor.
