This was the worst experience I ever had. I come from a career in helping doctors. I realize there is a shortage of staff but those of us who never complain and try to be strong,    get punished. As sick as I was and in pain (30 minutes to get pain meds.), I had to alert the nurses standing feet away, to another patient crying for help in a room.   I was on a cot on the side with bleeding (diverticulosis) and in pain.
