Slightly incompetent, well-meaning, totally over-helpful night nurse: Oh my goodness, you should be asleep!
Me: but you’re about to give me a breathing treatment.
SIWMTOHNN: But you should’ve been asleep an hour ago.
Me: you gave me all the meds an hour ago.
SIWMTOHNN: Well make sure you get some sleep after this.
Me: Aren’t you drawing blood in an hour?
SIWMTOHNN: …. oh, yeah…..
I swear, the amount of time I spend resisting the urge to roll my eyes should earn me an award.
Okay, hospitals seem to be all the same with no difference where in the world you are.
Have have seen my share of these nurses myself. Hang in there!
Hope it is better now though……xxx
Much better, thank you!
Argh! I saw this first hand when M. was so sick. Cannot get good sleep in a hospital, no way – no how. Good Luck and Heal Well.
Thank you! Yeah, they definitely do not understand the whole sleep-deprivation-affects-health concept.
