Just goes to prove my point that men nurses can never be as good as a female nurse. And I AM an RN!
Had surgery here in June, pre-op nurse, Linda? , dark hair, small woman been there 20-30 years was fabulous! She knew what I needed before I even needed it! This was my 2nd surgery with her can't say enough about her!
Post-op, this is where the men nurses need to step out and go work in long term care where the patients don't know they've been slighted! Both guys named Mike, I think. Had Mike for post op, woke up, 10 minutes later he told me to get dressed. No offer of anything to drink, he wanted me out because it was about 2:30 and I was his last patient. He was going home early! I obliged because under the influence of anesthesia I didn't have the mind to say no I'm not ready! 5 minutes later I'm in the holding area, husband is called and we are told to get the car. No pain rx, MD had forgot. So the other Mike, manager, I asked him to call my MD. His words " you have the same number we do". At this point a lady nurse glared at him, paged my MD, WHO CAME BACK TO THE CENTER AND GAVE ME MY RX! Oh, this was after the first Mike told me I had to go to the MD office to get the rx, and we actually drove over there and MD wasn't there -thanks for calling him for us NOT! wow, thanks MIKE AND MIKE. Cause you suck at nursing! Only wish I had gotten the name of the nice lady who glared at Mike's ignorance and called my MD! Oh, and she offered me something to drink while I waited for my MD. read more
