There is an old boy in the bed opposite me who is quite seriously ill. He has a lady, clearly not a relative, who phones him four or five times a day. He puts the phone on loudspeaker to talk to her and her whole conversation revolves around the mans property, for which she seems to be a key holder. She tells him who in his family she is happy to give access and who she isn’t. Her discussions have caused raised eyebrows and comments from the medical staff as to whether she knows everyone on the ward can hear what she has to say.
Tonight the guy took a turn for the worse and sounded really poorly before they stabilised him again. She phoned half way through the crisis then rolled up forty five minutes later with her son to question this guy again about his property. She said she is so worried about him that her daughter is driving down from some distance tonight with her kids and this key holder will put her up in the sick guys house to save the daughter the cost of a hotel. The nursing staff asked her to leave as it was an hour after visiting time, she left only to roll up again twenty minutes later, apologising to the nursing staff to talk about his house for a further 15 minutes before being ejected once again.
I hope I am wrong but it would appear that this woman’s behaviour seems unashamedly centred solely on getting a piece of the guys home when he pops his clogs.
Has anyone else experienced such brazen behaviour?
