Well, they are doing the same they would do on the NHS over here, where they wouldn't get paid a bean for it, so that's not the reason.
And if you are trying to knock all Doctors on the idea that they are only interested in profit, after all the good they do, then I have to take SERIOUS issue with you on that one.
They did the same with my Grandfather. He even died. But I still appreciate the ffort they made. They tried their damned best.
It's a hard, hard job. Way beyond my capacities.
Listen, I don't critise them, I'm typing about what they are doing that is mindboggling! If someone is in pain (and believe me he IS) and you get him transported by ambulance, YOU DON'T WAIT 4 DAYS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
I already lost my other grandfather and I'm not going to make the same mistake AGAIN!
My mother asked if I wanted to visit granddad, I said that I would see him another day... well, I'm going to visit him Saturday IN CHURCH. So if they do something wrong I will flip and that's a promise!
yerssot, did it ever occur to you that there may be good reasons not to give him painkillers? Because good reasons exist, I assure you.
Do you have ANY idea how complex medicine is? Are you in any way qualified to make a statement on the situation? NO.
I don't know if you have much experience in this area, yers, but four days in hospital for an operation is VERY quick. What is wrong with him? I'd be surprised if it is anything they want to rush into.
I know you are in a bad place right now but that does not give you an excuse to criticise these people who are just doing their best for your relatives. Doctors get too much criticism.
Their reaction makes perfect sense to me- it is THEIR work, THEY know what they are doing, they WILL try their best!
Okay, lets have everyone calm down now...
shocker, you need to learn a little sensitivity...I"m not trying to pick on you but if you lash out at other members like that then I have no choice but to edit and delete your replies. yers has never been anything but honest and respectful to others on this board so I think he deserves the same in return.
