23. Sorry to hear of your deplorable situation.

Oct 7

I know a bit about hospitals that many people don't, because I am married to a retired nurse and I volunteered at our local hospital for six years.

If that hospital was like any one I have been to, there is a person there in charge if infection control. He/she keeps the books on all infections that happen at the hospital and makes sure all the personnel are current on all vaccinations. Find out who that person is and file a report with them. Anticipate that nothing will be done and also simultaniously file a report with whoever the infection control manager answers to. Demand that they respond to you.

I must also say I was shocked to hear you are not only sharing your room with someone, but sharing your bathroom with two other patients. This is something I have never seen.

Best of luck to you, my friend, and get well soon.
