Staying overnight in the hospital is one of the worst things a patient can experience. There’s a very good chance they’re going to get their sleep interrupted frequently and that’s going to heckle the progress of their recovery.

From the perspective of a physician, hospitals are for people who are very sick and have to be monitored. When the person is too sick to complain, that is sick indeed. When they start complaining about waking up, that is convalescence and they may be blessed to be well enough to go home soon.

Ideally, staying in hospitals should be better than at home at the time of sickness. But oh well.

Reblogged this on Serendipity – Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth and commented:
I thought I was losing my mind. I had been in the hospital for 10 days and don’t think I’d had an entire hour of sleep. They finally called in the hospital psychiatrist who listened, nodded, and put a huge note in black magic marker on my door that said: “UNLESS EMERGENCY, DO NOT AWAKEN PATIENT!!” Then he signed it. he was the head of the psych unit and after that they let me sleep. I actually started to recover. Not only did they wake me for things I needed, but for things that had nothing to do with my case at all. After 10 days, I really WAS losing it.
