Can just picture that with a large glass of red. Pity you don't have a bar in hospitals. I'm sure it would cheer everyone up no end.

I know what you mean

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Well, I almost walked out of the hospital last night.
They awoke me at 10:15pm to tell me I was moving to a 4 man bay as my room was needed by someone who was badly ill.

"How come the day staff didn't tell me?", `I asked. Apparently they did according to the night-staff but no-one diid or I wouldn't have gone to bed. `cue a big stand-off where I threatened to leave for good right there and then. "You can't leave, you're sick" they said. "Watch me", I said. So I poacked all my bags.

The charge nurse wasn't happy because this was on her watch and it was, by now approaching 11:30.

Eventually a night-doctor persuaded me to stay but I hate moving rooms, particularly when I've got my own room and it took long enough to get it. I did leave the hospital at 7:30 this morning, though - I just want to spend a few hours at home.

If I had been suffering from anything but cancer I would have left for good last night, waking me up to tell me I have to change rooms is not good.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Ffosse, you have to consider others in hospital. Someone needed that room and it's not sensible to create a fuss. You need treatment so try to see it through, you'll be back home soon enough. Take care.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

That some-one could have gone into a 4 man bay, why should it be me? I've been moved around often enough before but not when I was already asleep.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

You said that the person who needed the private room was badly ill. It's best not to question their decisions but a shame they woke you up but things do happen in hospital.

My husband was in A & E for about eight hours and told that there were two seriously ill patients but only one bed available. My husband was the one who was given that bed in HDU. I felt so sorry for the other person but appreciate that the hospital was facing a dilemma.

Try to be patient Ffosse you'll soon be back in the privacy of your own home.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

They may have had someone with an infection who needs to be in isolation so it doesn't spread. Hope you are setting into the new room.
