I was admitted into hospital a few days ago and during the night I pressed the bell to ask the nurse for some more pain relief. The senior nurse came into my room and before I had the chance to ask her for the medication she started shouting at me.
Nurse: "Why haven't you had your medicines I left on the table?"
Me: "I didn't know they were there"
Nurse: "I told you they were there"
Me: "I know you are aware that I'm deaf, so did you make sure that I heard you?"
Nurse: "Oh er, actually I put them in your hand"
As her story started to change, I smiled and sarcastically nodded my head. With that she stormed out of the room. I had a long wait until she finally came back with my medicine and guess what? Probably with the fear of repercussions for her job, she couldn't have been any nicer to me.
