In the last three weeks, I have to go to the St George ICU every day, to look after my adult child, who was admitted into its ICU, because of the multiple injuries obtained in a motorbike accident a few months ago.
I realised that my child also got hydrocephalus, lung infection and urine tube infection etc. This was after being treated in the brain, spinal cord, legs etc, which added up, together with the dominant traumatic impact in brain, made them right in a life-threatening condition with showing up of body temperature being as high as 42 degrees and pulse rate being as fast as almost 200 bpm, which was obviously extremely dangerous!
I have found that some of the issues may, in my opinion, directly arise by the nursing care that my child received. For example, doing the tracheostomy suctioning by not tightly following the guide, drug administering and food feeding with air bubbles, delayed nappy change, and so forth...
I have therefore pointed them out with the issue to the nurses, and I believe I have therefore been recognised as being aggressive etc.
The nurse-in-charge called the security the other day after finishing up with correcting, what I think, was the harming posture they introduced to my child in a chair, and forced me to be off visiting for a day.
I came in the next day in the morning to help my child, because I have been worrying too much about my child's condition by knowing the nursing care in the last three weeks, but I felt I was excluded by them. I think they were bullying me by misinterpreting my kind reminder as being aggressive...but in my opinion, I really think they are in fact aggressive and rude.
My English isn't good to make error-free communications with these, who I feel are, extremely proud Australian nurses and very worrying about how they treat my child afterwards, we might have to transfer to another hospital.
Very sad indeed!
