Anne:

     sounds great but....how often are the procedures set up for the
convience of the staff and not the patient?

    I DO NOT (yes I am shouting!)  want to start a screaming match of who did
what to who... but...I am a strong propontant for patient advocay and family
care... I heard a lll talk may years ago on this and it really made an impact
on me....

     You are correct, patients/parents are not able to question, demand..
they are frightened, they often lack knowledge and they are expected to do as
they are told...
