I am sorry to hear: About this. Sometimes the person who yells loudest prevails but hopefully most of the time treatment teams dialogue with each other. If you feel your voice has been lost in this process, i would let your treatment team know. Sometimes putting your thoughts, expectations ; concerns on paper can augment a discussion with the treatment team. Take care.

Find an advocate!: You haven't given much information about what situation you're in, but you may need someone to help sort things out and even advocate for you. I have found that the nurse who is caring for you is often an excellent advocate (this probably reflects my nursing background!). Talk to your nurse, the head nurse, or even the nursing supervisor. You may make some waves, but you may see results. Lgromko.
