AND SCARED STILL,I KNOW NURSES HAVE A HARD JOB TO DO BUT HELPING OPEOPLE IN AND OUT OF BED I THOUGHT WAS PART OF IT,BUT THIS NURSE REFUSED INCASEI CAUSED HER TO HURT HER BACK,,
LAST NIGHT I SAT UP IN A CHAIR TILL NEARLY 5 AM ,SO NOT TO HAVE ASK HER TO DO ANYTHING BUT AFTER 5 I HAD TO LAY DOWN I NEEDED THE COMODE ,SHE GIOT IT BUT REFUSED TO HELP ME IT TOOK ME 20 MINS TO GET OUT OF THE BED ,SHE SAID TWICE A NIGHT DUISTURBES OTHER PATIANTS
NOW IM SO SCARED ,SHES A POPULAR NURSE

i would deffo take it further Dizzi
it will make them think twice about treating somebody else that way

Disgraceful Dizzi - I would definitely take AnnC up on her offer if I were you.

Dizzi.
Take the complaint further through THE PALS office at the hospital.
You should be able to get their phone number from the directory.

If you would like me to draft a letter for you I'll be more than happy to do it

wouldn't be at all surprised if the nurse's "witnesses" have been coerced into supporting her - she sounds like a bully - ask them why would they think you would lie when the likelihood of you returning to that very hospital is almost a cert - do not let it lie or she'll carry on bullying and lying - we all believe you - as AnninGlos says, get your local MP on board - you are going to need some back up with this - DO NOT LET IT LIE

Hi dizzy hope u r feeling better

I'd go to the big boss of the hospital and complain to them if all fails go to the press

Involve your local MP, there is too much of this covering their backs. Don't let it rest there.

i wouldn't let them get away with it .You know the truth and I would go back to them and dispute what they have written

Would go so far as to say the nurse was lying to cover her back . And what you said about the events was the truth.

Would even say you are taking it further

this is disgusting Dizzi - do not let it go - you must have a local Community Health Council - get on to them - you must be livid - I certainly am

FAT LOT OF USE COMPLAINING ABOUT MY LAST
HOSPITAL STAY,IT SEEMS EVERY COMPLAINT I HAD MADE THE
NURSE HAD AT LEAST TWO WITNESSES AND IT WAS
ALWAYS MY FAULT EVERYTHING WAS CHANGED TO SUIT HER
BY OTHER NURSES,
THE FACT MY CALL BUTTON FOR THE NURSE SITTING AT A DESK TWO BEDS ALONG FAILED TO WORK AS WAS THE BED ADJUSTER SO ONLY WAY
TO GET HER ATTENTION WAS TO QUIETLY CALL HER,
IT WAS ME WHO ASKED IN THE NIGHT TO HAVE A CATHETER NO WAY NO WAY,I NEVER DID,THEY WANTED ME TO BE DONE.

WELL I GIVE UP NOW ,,MY NEXT HOSPITAL WILL BE HELL I JUST
KNOW IT, :-(
