It’s been a slow change

Healthcare is not a concern for most, but for those who have experienced being cared for by the insouciant—lighthearted, uncaring, nonchalant behavior—it will increase their vocabulary.

I have been told not to call the staff stupid or dumb. Well, if rolling my eyes and typing duh qualifies, then yes, I am guilty. I’m excited about the slow progress and the more good stuff to come.

I have not had any additional issues with being left unattended for five hours or one and a half hours left on the commode. I have far too many snags with not receiving a response to my call light until after ten to thirty minutes. How long does it take for a person to die from the lack of sufficient air? I won’t call it stupidity, but I will say incompetence fits.

I’m thankful for the new DON, who will slowly change the culture. We have had too much enabling. I typed the message that I would not debate what the nurse remembered. She then said, so you’re calling me stupid? My best defense is to go to sleep and hope for a better next shift.

Remember, when you can’t change the situation, just go to sleep. Ha ha. Actually, it reads: When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. Viktor Frankl. Some of your caregivers are outstanding. Bless you. Simply Said By Simon: I just want to thank you for letting me be. Smile. ALS—A Little Singing. Thanks, Denise.
