I’m not entirely sure if this fits here but it has me really pissed off. My brother in law is currently on the oncology floor at the hospital I work at, dying from throat cancer.
I’m a float which means I go to whatever unit is short staffed for the night. I regularly work on the oncology unit.
APPARENTLY we are not allowed to visit patients at work. I did not know this as I am 3rd shift and we are generally out of the loop on new policies. Visiting hours are only 4-7 and you can only have the same one visitor so he’s basically dying alone.
I was just up there on my break hanging out with him and he was just so happy to see me and his nurse made me leave. This honestly makes my blood fucking boil.
I emailed my manager explaining the situation and asking if she could make an exception. She’s super nice but im afraid she wont because it wouldnt be fair to other people.
Im just so upset about it.
