I don't see how this is really an FML considering that your beloved husband may not be their beloved patient. Just be glad he isn't behaving that way with you.

Mom? Is that you? o.O

I would file a complaint and make those nurses kiss your ass for the duration of the stay

#55 - You are annoyed that you have to be available for nurses at all times? I do understand the bit about the personal life, but what happens if you are trying to sleep at 2pm but it is time for your antibotic? Shall the nurses just not give it to you, because it is not convient for you. For god shakes you are in the hospital to get better, most nurses don't enjoy waking up patients. #53 - Way to sterotype all nurses, that sucks that the nurses or doctor's in your hospital were rude, but do not paint us with the same stroke. To the OP - Yes, they should not have said that in a place where you could have heard, but a. Not a FML - It had no bearing on your life, b. What the heck did your husband do to deserve that title?

I'm pretty sure they could be fired or at least get disciplinary action against them for talking about patients like that where everyone else can hear them. They didn't name names, but it's pretty easy for someone to check out who's in room 303...

to 69... who actually has anything to do with a patient in a hospital that they don't already know? Do you go into a room and introduce yourself? No... you go to the room of the person who know.... patient confidentiality is pretty well protected. Probably bad taste on the nurse's part, but a fair number of patients tend to be not real nice to nursing staff. Now, most people in the hospital don't feel the best, and it does make it hard to be charming and cheerful. But I've been in the hospital, once after an accident that I nearly bled out due to internal injuries so severe that I wasn't allowed to even sit up in bed for a full week following surgery, once to have rods and 2+inch screws put in 3/4 of my spine, and three more times for smaller surgical procedures. I was on heavy pain killers, and I still was able to be civil to nursing staff. Feeling crummy is no excuse to be an ass. Amen #65

And so we see why people hate each other... Bless you, human condition...

Not really F your life, but more like F his life. If he's been that much of an ass to have NURSES talking about him while he's sick/injured in the HOSPITAL for a prolonged time, he probably deserved it... no offence or anything, but nurses are generally compassionate to the people they take care of? And people are usually in a bad mood in the hospital. I haate hospitals, they're so quiet and clean looking.

You could have at least said something. Say "Excuse me for a moment, I know you were having a conversation but I need to find the room (insert husbands name) is in, would you happen to know?" Their reactions would have been enjoyable to say the least.

#70, good for you and I hope you're feeling better but not everyone deals with pain, trauma, fear, meds etc like you.
