thank you so very much ….I have names, medications, labs, test, but I was told that I was interfering with his care by doing these things. when the nurse comes in to give medicine and is scanning them in the system, I ask what medication it is and dosage and write it down, I ask about his lab results when it seems like there is a slow moment to update me, I ask physicians questions but was told by one of them that physicians get frustrated when asked questions because it appears that they are being challenged. I don't know how to help someone without asking questions to have a general idea of what is going on with them. we have been treated so badly in that place and now he is all alone. it feels like our life is over. I don't know what to do with myself. ive never felt so worthless, not being able to be with him knowing he's afraid. the nursing director of the unit was so heartless and cold the entire time. im going to just keep trying, I wont give up...thank you again for your advice

Never give up. You have very right to ask - don't let egos stand in your way of ensuring that you have the answers to your bone fide questions!!!
