According to the BBC website, patients and their family have high expectations when they are in hospital. They expect nurses to perform miracles. In general patients do not like to complain, but when they do complain they make nurses feel as if they do everything wrong. They feel very guilty even if they have done nothing wrong. Marcia Turnham from Cambridgeshire explains that sometimes the expectations of patients and relatives are too high. Nurses have a lot of paperwork to do and that takes them away from patients.
Patients see nurses as their advocates and rely on them, however nurses often do not have the time because there is so much bureaucracy attached to their role.
I agree with this. I think that a lot of people are manipulated by soaps like Grey's Anatomy and ER . they create an image of a hospital where there is always time to have a little chat with a nurse or a doctor. Thias, however is an image that is not realistic. Doctors and nurses are there to cure the patients, but they do not have time to get involved in the patients private life.
