Was kept in hospital much longer than planned following major surgery. All staff were amazing except for one healthcare assistant who had previously been abrupt and terse.
So this HCA started nightshift on night I was kept in. When taking my blood pressure remarked that I was 'still there' and asked 'didn't i want to go home?' then walked away muttering that 'we make it too comfortable for patients…'. It was not done in a jokey manner. I was left feeling upset and like a burden on the hospital while already feeling down, scared and alone about being in hospital and the surgery/illness.
AIBU to think that this was rude and insensitive? Should I complain or let it go? I know it is not an easy job to do and that everyone has bad days.
