Hard to get mad at the good nurses. But have had several "Nurse Ratcheds"

For a 2 week stay, foot infection with partial amputation because of sepsis. Changing antibiotic IV every 8 hours for 2 months at home was not fun for me or my family either. The nurses who wake you up and ask you if you need something to help me sleep are ones in the "special" category.

A hospital is a horrible place to sleep
