TOP 10 REASONS HOSPITALS ARE SCARY PLACES TO BE

HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!



TOP 10 REASONS
HOSPITALS ARE SCARY PLACES TO BE


#10 The universal "one size fits all" should not apply to hospital gowns.

#9 Somebody please explain the rationale behind sequestering sick, germ infested patients in dorm style living. Don't dorms and meningitis outbreaks go hand in hand?

#8 "Hospital Quiet Zone" signage only applies to the OUTSIDE perimeter of the hospital. You are alarmed to discover that the jack hammering that kept you up all night was actually the snoring of the frail, 88 year old lady in the bed beside you.

#7 If sleep is the best medicine, why do they wake you up every 2 hours just to ask how you are feeling?

#6 Within hours of pumping your stomach full of gas, skewering your abdominal cavity with 4 metal prongs, and yanking out an organ through your belly button, they expect you to get up and go for a walk.

#5 Citing "potential complications" they can legally with hold food and water from you for 3 days straight.

#4 While starving you, they intravenously pump you so full of saline and narcotics that you actually GAIN 10 pounds.

#3 Starvation leaves you weak, lethargic and confined to bed. You have no TV, no phone, no computer and no visitors to help pass the time. The only form of entertainment to be found is a stack of Canadian Living Magazines from the 1980s.... 90% of the content in Canadian Living Magazine is RECIPES.

#2
Either the hospital pharmacy doesn't understand the importance of following directions OR they decided to experiment with your dosages - just to see if the warnings on the drug label are really true...
WARNING:
Overdose of Primaxin IV will result in seizures and death.



And the NUMBER 1 reason that hospitals are scary places to be....

They continue to keep giving you your gall bladder medication...
even AFTER they have surgically removed it.



LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!

Happy Hallowe'en from the Goertzen Household!
