Yes, I think so!!!
I have a hard time answering in the positive. Outpatient/same day surgery: Yes! Emergency: Absolutely NOT! In-patient: NO! I took my husband to the ER for chills and being short of breath. After checking in and sitting in the waiting room 45 minutes, he started getting chest pains. When I told the reception nurse she snapped at me, "The nurse knows!" Apparently the ER nurses are psychic. My Dr checked me in to the hospital. I had the stickers on to monitor my heart. Several times the nurses came in talking amongst themselves. They walked in, ignored me, did not close the door or curtain and literally ripped my gown off. Regardless of how many times I asked them to close the door, they refused. The only one who treated me like a person was the C.N.A. I think they are called techs. She knocked, greeted me with my name, closed the door and told me what she needed to do then asked me. Then there was the 15 + min. overhead light at 3 am so the nurse could see to chart. Really??
Absolutely
