And if you, or a family member, are ever in a hospital, you MUST have 24-hr room sitting by a family member, to keep track of what is going on, especially at night! My son was in hospital years ago with pneumonia, and some doctor came by and started putting him on a steroid used for asthma patients! We didn't immediately catch that, and to this day, he has allergies that no others in our family have, and I wonder if that is the reason. His oxygen sensor also went off in the night, and no nurse came to the room until I went down the hall to get someone. Hospitals are VERY scary places these days!
I really think that computers used for patient care have distracted nurses, and doctors, from bedside patient care. I state this having worked in hospitals over the years of paper charting into the transition of computer charting at two different hospitals. (1980's- 2015).
