Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 I had DS surgery on July 24th I think what you need to look for on the medical records is if your husband " refused or was noncompliant according to the nursing staff " in my opinion this is an excuse the nursing staff uses, so they don't have to deal with our big asses. An example I was given OT in my room for my first shower and to be honest it was a very exhausting experience.....Not to mention the pain medication made me very tired......I fell asleep and told my primary nurse that I would go down to PT after my nap.....She went to lunch I was resting they came into wake me for PT I guess several times in the 45 minute span.....They reported me as refused PT and that I was noncompliant..... I have to admit that I find your strength and courage refreshing I can tell you are a person of great character. Respectfully, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
