My elderly parent was admitted recently to the ward where they have been receiving great medical attention with highly dedicated nurses and working members.
Unfortunately, there is a patient on the floor, who, in my opinion, shouldn’t be here. They are always abusive towards the nurses who are constantly trying to assist this patient for things that they seemingly don't need, but thinks they think they do and forgets that staff have attended to, which comes at the expense of the time of other patients.
A couple of days ago this patient started telling me that I am mean, just like the staff. I don’t understand things and that I am not kind or helpful at all. I feel abused and am worried now for my parent's safety. This patient is crowding me since they come close to the ward’s entrance all the time and says all these things over and over again. It seems that they need one on one help which is a challenge and even then, they aren't satisfied.
I hope someone of authority will look into this and do something about it because this has been ongoing for 4 months and I don’t think is sustainable. Thank you.
