The lady in the bed next to me is very unstable and fell the other nights so context. The nurse was facing her way trying to put a cannula in me and did not notice the lady had fallen to her knees trying to get out of bed and was stuck. nurse told me to press my buzzer, which I did, but they ignore them for ages, so I had to ask the nurse to shout for help, why didn't she think to do that - an elderly lady has fallen and you are happy for her to stay down!?
The lady opposite me is in a a lot of pain (but used to be a nurse) and then had to go and help her up properly into bed as the young girl who came to help was rolling her eyes at having to help and literally stood the woman up and then didn't do anything else, just walked off. I was stuck with a nurse trying and failing to get a line in me, and I just had a drain in my midriff this morning so can't move much!
I pressed my buzzer this morning as I needed a sick bowl as I started to feel sick and they left my bowl down in the X-Ray dept. Took 40min for someone to come to me :-(
Yet there are staff standing around outside the ward, just not the right staff it seems who answer buzzers!
