@RNSuperHero I’ve had a couple of surgeries where the hospital stays were rather long and I can’t even express how uncomfortable it made me to have my personal medical info discussed in front of other patients. Once my info was then discussed between the other patient and her gossipy family.

@lifebyam That’s awful

@RNSuperHero I’m a student and an educator once demanded I give him a full handover outside the door of a 4 bed room, and afterwards one of the patients literally told me he’d eavesdropped on the whole thing It was terrible

@nervouswee Yeah I hate bedside report and this is one reason why

@RNSuperHero That’s usually when, as a visitor, I ask them how their case of Ebola is doing…

@TheDeathDad Bahahahahaha

@RNSuperHero I was coming out of anesthesia and heard doctors talking to a patient named "Carl", and I was so worried for him, I apparently started yelling, "Carl! Carl! Are you okay?!" from my bed. When Carl was leaving, he asked to be wheeled over to me so he could assure me he was okay.

@RNSuperHero You mean the curtain is not a wall?

@RNSuperHero The last time I was in the ER of our major regional hosp., when they "brought you back" it was to a bay that looked to have once held 2 beds (based on ceiling curtain tracks), but currently held about 20 chairs, almost all full, & that's where people were getting *examined.*

@RNSuperHero I’ve always wondered this… it’s so awkward!

@RNSuperHero Ugh, the little curtain hides your identity COMPLETELY. Duh. 🙃

@RNSuperHero I know.. and when you go to check in, they ask you everything that everyone can hear.

@RNSuperHero Yeah they’re definitely not. I had a couple leave our triage area once because they found a scenario with another patient too traumatic to listen to

@RNSuperHero We used to do double patient transfers. In a confined space like an ambulance that type of thing was a real problem. Especially when one of your patients needed care. One of the many reasons I hated the double transfer. No privacy.

@RNSuperHero It’s even lovelier when your roomie has gastroparesis.

@RNSuperHero NO ONE TOLD ME THE CURTAINS AREN’T SOUNDPROOF?!

@RNSuperHero Yup! I was in the hospital last year for a week. Let me tell you I knew EVERYTHING that was going on with the other person in the room, and NOT because I wanted to.

@RNSuperHero Your patients get beds?

@RNSuperHero I agree, it’s deplorable

@RNSuperHero But there’s the sound proof curtain!
