The Jaws Of Defeat
Canada, Hospital, Ignoring & Inattentive, Nurses, Ontario | Healthy | June 18, 2018
(I just had jaw surgery, so I am in the hospital for a few days with a swollen face, and my jaw is wired shut. I really can’t speak. I wake up in the middle of the night. My sister is sleeping in the guest chair, but I can feel the pain easing in on my face, so I decide to hail the nurse using a button on the side of the bed. Instead of the nurse coming to see what I need, she proceeds to use the speaker attachment. You can probably see where this is going.)
Nurse: “Hello, honey, what do you need?”
Me: “…”
Nurse: “What do you need?”
Me: *internal screaming*
(They did eventually come.)
