Have you ever had a very disruptive hospital roommate ?

Asked by anniereborn (15511points) July 15th, 2019

Or visited someone who did? My husband is in the hospital to get a heart catheter test. He has a congenital heart defect, so he has to stay in for a few days. He just went in today. His roommate through no fault of his own is very disruptive.

I don’t know exactly why he is in there, but he screams for the nurse all the time. Also on top of that he has bowel movements in the bed that are so bad we had to get those vomit bags.
We know he can’t help it and we don’t judge nor blame him.

But my husband is so stressed out he can’t sleep or eat (especially with the smell). He needs to be well for that heart cath test.

We talked to the nurses/CNAs about getting him a single room cuz of it. They didn’t have any open, so they “put him on a list”.

Any (real) suggestions are gladly accepted.
