rant about a nurse!

[sullidog]

Ok, there's this nurse at my center that is a real b** to me, one minute she's nice next minute she's giving me a lip.
Today after getting off the machine, I was about a kilo less then I was when put on, I didn't even though they were pulling anything because I didn't get sick or anything, so I asked about it because they usually don't pull fluid on me even though my bp has been a bit high lately and they were like oh yeah your doctor put in an order to take off fluid. That was ok with me as I had some on me anyways but the point is that if the doctor calls in an order for the nurses I feel I have a right to know what the order is and why he did it, they told me nothing then when I asked the b*** nurse if this was permanet or temperarly she got annoyed at me so I just said fine I'll ask on Wednesday
I know I'm blind but dang it if there's changes for my treatment I have the right to know before it starts!
The other staff is nice to me but this one nurse I have no idea what her issue is!

Bipolar?   

I hate when they think you don't need to know.  I realize some of the elderly patients don't get it, and don't want details, but I want to know and understand all of it, darn it!  That holds true for my transplant stuff now, too.  Don't just say "Your levels are fine."  Up, down, trending one way or the other over the last several blood tests?  Yooohooo, I'm over here - look at me when you are talking to me!    Oh, never mind, I've got talking out loud about me confused with actually talking to me.  (Thank heavens the doc I ended up with once I was stable is capable of a real conversation!)

I guess you'll have to ask before every session "any new orders I should know about?"  Don't let them get away with that.  We are not stupid!
