This is a blog about Toronto's St. Michael's Hospital.Ever had an experience at one of Toronto's hospitals that you needed to vent or warn others about? I'm blogging out of frustration and the seriously crappy health care system we have these days. It's not always been like this but today it's a business only. The money goes to the Executives and there's no trickle down to the patients. The first thing always cut is something in patient care. btw, I have a potty mouth when stressed.

starting out..
First note in here... I am sitting in SMH. My mom is in isolation. Why? Because she was admitted 18 days ago with major heart issues and while in i.c.u. 10 days into her stay, she contacted what could be a deadly virus called C-Difficile. So now they stick her in isolation. And isolation it is. I've been sitting here since 1:30 pm and it's now almost 5:30 pm and I've seen her nurse once for about 3 minutes. That's it. Once. My mom is very weak, can't even hold a cup with water in it for a drink so it's a damn good thing I'm in here now isn't it? Who else is going to feed and give her something to drink? Obviously not this nurse. There is always one isn't there? For the most part her nurses have been good and even great. But even this one can mean another problem for her. They are just managing to bring her back from dehydration so leaving her be like this could make her dehydration much worse if I wasn't giving her liquids.
