time to be ashamed

This was a case that the cure turned out to be as bad as the disease. All the radiation created a condition where the skull and scalp were not healing from the latest surgery. It had been a month since that surgery and a plastic surgeon was needed to repair a hole. None of the medicals believed that a leak was occurring. That allowed a staff infection to enter my wife's spinal fluid which almost killed her. I had to make a resuscitation "call" and then a week or two later my daughter witnessed her mother going through a code blue. To cap it all, a nurse at the code blue, verbalized her excitement for code blues, because that's when the fun starts.

I can tell you that my daughter didn't have any "fun" at the code blue and I know that I didn't have any "fun" watching my wife suffer. I was disappointed with the doctors and the hospital nursing staff on the neurological floor. There was a lack of professionalism and decorum. They should be embarrassed by their actions and ashamed of their treatment to my wife as a patient, and our family as caregivers.
