                                                                                                                                                    I think I would ask to see a copy of the grievance policy that your dialysis unit has.

If this happens again ask for a grievance form and describe the incident that occurred.  If there is a witness ask them to sign it  (as a witness). Make a copy for yourself and  give it to the person in charge. Then they will have to do something. Not much will probley happen, maybe a verbal warning to employee at first, depending on situation.  The staff member involved will have to sign the paper and a copy of this complaint should go into their  file. If this behavior continues keep making out grievance forms, more will have to be done because it is documented.

It's no excuse being too busy. Staff has to follow handwashing protocol for your safety and theirs.

Don't worry the nurses all suggested I was going through Male Menopause with my "hot flushes" and it created much mirth.. I guess Goofy and my lot are on the same wavelength!! lol
I had a couple of prostate operations.  After each one, I had some bleeding during every urination; as well as staining of my underwear, especially at night during sleep.

A tech asked me if I was having any aftereffects from the prostate surgery. 
I replied to her, "I believe this is what you ladies refer to as a 'heavy flow'."
