unless the exchange took place on the way to the patient?
when i broke my wrist last summer, they had me on a regular schedule for pain meds. until it came to the night nurse. it would take me a number of calls to get her to administer meds. she would give me excuses like "we have to call the doctor", then "they're filling the script at the pharmacy", then "it's on it's way here" and would string me along for hours. every other nurse was there before i could complain, giving me the doctor ordered shot. i was unhappy enough about it that i made a complaint with the hospital. now i wonder if she was using, and taking the meds herself. at least she didn't give me hepatitis.
