> When I have been hospitalized, the nurses were great. They didn't do the checks, though. The aides did. But if you needed to talk to someone besides the social worker (once a day) and the doctor (once a day for about 20 minutes), the nurses were always available. That was my experience, anyway.
Wow, sounds lush. Where I was there was (I've been in two places in Montreal, and 3 places in Calgary, one in Kitchener, and two in Washington DC)only one social worker for 35 patients so talking to her was not usually possible. Her role was to help patients find housing etc. after they left the hospital. I never saw my doctor once a day, maybe every 3-4 days.
Health crisis in Canada, eh?
