Well, excuse me. I was sick because of the anaethestic and the food wouldn’t stay down. Plus it’s not all that easy to eat in a neat and precise fashion when you’re horizontal and full of pain meds.
But it’s not really about me—I just included the anecdote to illustrate that it’s not only UK hospitals that have this problem.
A joke. Sheesh.
Honestly, I don’t understand why you got that response. I’d have called the supervising nurse or the administrator, as well. Maybe both.
If you were my patient, I’d offer you assistance eating, and if you couldn’t because of nausea, I’d notify the doctor and see if he would prescribe some antinausea medication.
The conditions you describe are outrageous. I’m sorry that happened to you.
