Yes, I remember that. Remember other stuff about a nurse too!
I just am kind of ballsy when it comes to medics as I’ve had so much to deal with within the family from cancer to pancolitis, coeliac disease to autism, slipped discs to trigeminal neuralgia and pneumonia, that I don’t bother being polite anymore; I’m straight in there making them give it to me straight and everyone knows where they are then.
e.g. Hubby had cancer. We went for the pre-op appointment and saw a registrar who told him he needed three separate ops. On the day of the surgery, I questioned the necessity of this with the consultant and he shook his head and said he’d do the whole lot in one go if we preferred. Bloody registrars. I actually often believe nurses know more than them sometimes.
Everyone expects me to sort out their medical issues as a result though, which I can be doing without sometimes, but I do what I can. I’m the nightmare one who comes in and looks at the chart and then questions what they’re giving for pain relief, etc. Last summer hubby tore ligaments in his back, which went into spasm. I know that level of pain from a slipped disc 10 years ago and so asked the doctor for diazepam. That’s a good idea, he said.
He had just done a prescription for painkillers but hubby was bent double and unable to straighten. You think a muscle relaxant would have gone through his mind...
Gordon, you know females are the stronger sex. We drive better, we multi-task, we birth offspring and so you should know to listen to what we say and take it all on board!
