I don't think I went too far. Your HONEST opinion would be gratefully received.

That’s when I discovered you can’t shower in a hospital any more.  They are too afraid of falls. 

My wife is a RN and nursing professor.   I know from talking to her that having one of your patients fall on your shift is one of the worst things that can happen to a nurse.

That being said, the hospital I use in Boston (Tufts) has a shower in each patient room - at least on the renal floor.    Even if I go in for something else, they ship me to the renal floor when they are done working on me.

Every room I had in three hospitals had showers, with the knobs removed from the showers.  After about a week the wipes they gave me did not have the wonderful feeling of hot water cascading over me. Bummer.

They pull that on me and I'll have a friend bring in vice grips.

My post transplant room had a shower.

They don't allow anyone to take showers at my transplant hospital, but it's because the place is so old that there's legionella in the pipes.  In the shower, you can inhale the bacteria.  They bring in bottled water to drink and removed the drinking fountains

Thanks for your replies. They have given me food for thought.
