Kay Adamson's husband put a big sign over her bed for the medical staff saying, "This is a human being. Treat her like one."
AWESOME!!!!!!!!! to protect your loved one like that!!! YEH FOR KAY ADAMSON'S HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was visiting a friend with Parkinson's in a nursing home a few weeks ago. She indicated she wanted ice and I went to the nurse's station. There was a woman sitting behind the desk writing. I said excuse me. She ignored me. I said excuse me again. Again she ignored me. Finally I slapped my hand on the counter and said, "Do you speak english?" She looked up at me with a really vicious glare. I told her my friend wanted ice and she just looked back down at her paperwork. Now, this person had never met me before, didn't know who I was, had no idea what relationship I was to the patient. I found another nurse who also promptly brushed me off, but I wouldn't let this one go. I asked who their supervisor was, and if they didn't get my friend some ice in the next five minutes I'd report them. They got the ice, but only grudgingly.
It is very scary.

This is so wonderful to hear.
What a difference when you have a husband that is loyal and truly loves you.
