Bad News First? The Hospital, Health Care Experience Things that Make You Say “hmmmmm.”

Phrases like:

This is one of the “older beds, stretchers, etc.”

No answer when staff is asked about milk being sour.

Or in other words, seems like a lot on this unit have diarrhea.

(BTW - This is not my current health care setting.)

That one’s got a nice “set” heard one 3 a.m. under pretense of being cleaned up.

Or the classics:  “I didn’t get the message” and “Don’t be rude to me.”


I need to write about this stuff. 

There are somebody really good, kind people in health care 

and I don’t know or have the exact Mister  Rogers’ quotation, but find the friends first,

 by all means in yuour neighborhood. 

It’s been a tough week, absolutely. I’m receiving much support and better care now.
