Same here @CapricornFarm. I won't leave a loved one in the hospital without sitting in the corner. When my mother was dying a nurse came in and tried to give her oral meds and insulin. She was unconscious. No idea what was going on. I asked her if she thought that was a wise thing. She went off in a huff, next thing I knew doctor was coming in ripping into me. I ripped right back and told him if the incompetence didn't stop I was firing him as doctor (he was filling in for her regular doctor) and transferring her to another hospital. He changed his tune and told the staff I was one intimidating little lady. I said when it comes to my family you bet I am! Later talking to a patient liaison about the incident I told her what the quality of care was that my mother had received. The liaison remembered me from a note I had written praising the nursing staff of another floor my mom had been on for their wonderful considerate and compassionate care of my mother when she was a patient under their care. The liaison had patted my hand and said, don't worry, I will take care of it. You aren't the first person with complaints about this floor. Things changed big time. Sometimes the squeaky wheel does get the oil but don't mess with my loved ones.

Her regular doctor backed me 100% and told me to sit in that room and guard her like a hawk or they would kill her before her time. I did just that.

As for surgeons, I've always found the ones I've either worked with or been under the care of to be arrogant and narcissistic you know whats but that is their nature and with good reason. I think I would be worried if I encountered one who wasn't. They aren't there to be my friend, they are there to save my life, after all.

Thanks @Granny Hatchet. Yes it's hard even when it's what you know you have to do. She was one of my favorite layers.
