I'm glad baby blue tits are not complicated. I've had a very frustrating day at work both with nurses (and I used to be one!) and Social Workers. My lady who is in hospital was slumped down the bed having been moved to a ward from the Acute Assessment Unit. She had spilt her beaker of tea in the bed so she was soaked and I'm not surprised because she didn't have her glasses on (she can't see very well with them but she definitely can't see anything without them) and she didn't have her teeth in! I could only find a bottom set so goodness knows what they've done with them. I took her in a dressing gown which used to belong to my Auntie which is clean and comfortable as I thought she would be sitting in a chair like she was yesterday and she was wrapped up to the chin in blankets because she hadn't got one. Anyway, nobody could tell me where the key to her bungalow was and I didn't see a property list which she should have. Why does nobody do their job properly these days? Then I had a battle with the Social Worker about another client who cannot cope with his wife with dementia and she is due out of respite on Monday with no plan as to what is going to happen. I wanted to have a meeting with all people involved and involve him too to help him know about the decisions and plans that need to be put in place but they refuse to meet me there and said they would leave a message on my answer phone about what will happen. How effective is that? I'm disgusted with the way they treat elderly people these days. I asked the Doctor to visit him on Monday but they haven't been. I feel so frustrated that he will probably land up back in hospital due to exhaustion again and I am at a loss as to what more I can do. I am so disillusioned with things these days. It never was as bad as that in my day although I used to battle with Social Workers when I was Named Nurse for Safeguarding Children for the local PCT. And I cried when I heard about yet another little boy who has been murdered by his mother and stepfather. Lessons will be learned - how many times have I heard that!!!
He is a cute little fella....and I understand how you feel...I am a nurse too...and the medical field can be very disillusioning sometimes....on the plus...it can be very good at times too.
understand how you feel............I was my mums carer for 3 years she livid with us she had altzhimers.........she died 3 years ago and I am so glad I was able to care for her properly at home with love and dignity and help from carers who came in to dress and wash her but the council only send one person and it was a two people job so god only knows how she would have been treated if she had been left on her own.............we lost her teeth in hospital we found them in a bag of sweets by the side of her bed look every where and good luck
