Since Jasmine came home on Monday she has had to have antiobiotics and heparin added to her dialysis bags every night. GOSH sent us home with a day’s worth and then when we went back for the antibiotics (for the community nurses – why can’t they organise the antibiotics? They are the ones using them) they had made us up two more days so the community nurses didn’t have to come round until Thursday and then yesterday.
All was going great until Neil went to set up the machine last night and one of the bags split and fluid went everywhere. We rang the community nurses to get whoever is on duty today (Sunday) to come round as we need another set of bags for tonight.
The nurse who answered said that that wouldn’t be possible because the duty nurse today is the nurse who kept me waiting for three hours the time she came round to do an epo injection and on another occasion, refused to put heparin into Jasmine’s bags when GOSH requested it and Jasmine had to go without. And the story goes that I have said that I never want bad-attitude nurse to come round my house ever.
I was a bit annoyed at this untruth. I didn’t and wouldn’t say anything like that. I don’t care if bad-attitude nurse comes round as long as Jasmine gets the treatment she needs. So the nurse on duty rang off saying that she would organise a time with bad-attitude nurse to come round. She rang back half an hour later to say that bad-attitude community nurse refuses to come and do the bags so she will have come instead on her day off.
she should be fired. The job of a nurse is to help a child despite the parents relationship. I hope that you take this to her superiors and confront her on this as well…its absolutely unacceptable. Its funny how small people can be.
[…] has happened several times with the community nurses who expected us to sit in ALL DAY and wait for them. It always happens with Fresenius the rubbish […]
