I am an RN in the hospital he is in. The hospital is still “Red” code, meaning family can’t see them. I am going to just walk in like I own the place in my surgical scrubs and hold his hand. He isn’t dying of “covid”. He had infected teeth that have caused his sepsis. I could get fired if I’m caught, but he is a brother of a good friend. I will hold the line and give him some comfort.
Jesus, please come soon and make this shit go away!
I’m so sorry to hear this about your sister. It just is so wrong - all of it! Not being able to be an advocate for your own family member, not getting the best care because of hospital protocol, and being shut up in a room where the only contact you get from a human is through an isolation protocol. I want to be a good nurse, and I think I am - but it is sad we have to go behind the scenes to do good nursing care :-/
