Our center has one bathroom and it is right there when you walk in the lobby. So people waiting can HEAR everything. One time this guy was in there and OMG I was trying not to laugh and thank God my sister was not with me. When the poor guy came out I was acting like I was reading a book.
Today someone on the night shift took a huge dump and plugged it and they could not get it unplugged. Stunk to high heaven. So about 11 AM someone had to use the bathroom and I thought we only had the one,. But noooooo, the nurse said "well, okay let her use ours".... "ours?" We have and "ours"? WTF? Come to find out in the back where we are never allowed to enter is 2 bathrooms a his and hers.
They treat us like vermin. Like a third world country. Like pigs. They would never be caught dead in our bathroom but it is good enough for us. :stressed;

I think it's quite normal for staff to have their own toilet - I don't expect the children I work with to use 'our' toilets. However, I'm a bit surprised there's only one for the patients!!!!

Ah Rerun, you always crack me up!

Hi,
Hubby's unit only has one bathroom for the patients, also - and it's located
rite in the waiting room, too - he still pees like a horse, and always has to
go as soon as he gets off the D machine. One day, he came home from his
session and raced past me without even taking off his coat, making a beeline
for the john.
When he came out he said he had to go so bad at the unit, and when he
went into the bathroom there was a "very big mess" in there (you get my
drift) ;D
Totally disgusting, you'd think they would provide more bathroom facilities-
with what they charge for sessions, one would think they could afford to
And Rerun, you crack me up, too!!!

we have one patient restroom and once I had to use it and a patient had been sick all over the room --- I walked down to the restroom in the hospital -- needles and all -- the director was pissed so I remarked that she should go use that bathroom ---- poo all over the floor ---they have a staff restroom but I am not allowed in it ---- if I would have waited any longer to go --- well, there would have been more poo all over the place

This was a funny one for me. My center has one bathroom and it's right in front of my chair....that's right, it's right out there for all to see(or smell depending on how you look at it). I don't know how many times someone has gone in there and stunk the place to high heaven and and myself and the guy next to me have to deal with this odiforous incursion upon our sinuses. Disgusting. The staff just avoids the area(and us) until it smells better....nice huh? :puke;

Our unit has 2 bathrooms, one in the treatment area for patients, and one in the back for staff and visitors, although, it's harder for the visitors to get to it since they renovated and put in the 2 new chiars.
As far as I could tell, the unit I go to in Manhattan only has one, and it's kind of hidden in a hallway. I don't think there are any others. In that unit, when you're on the 3rd shift, you have to go through the back to get out, because the front is locked, and all I ever saw back there was a little meeting room.
