Took my brother to R1 for a procedure. He is elderly frail and terrified. I got him as close to his destination as possible to limit the walk. We were admitted by a nurse who was abrupt ,rushing and without feelings. No explanations, little or no information just refusal to let me help him through. They even asked how long he was staying as if we new. Don't they teach bedside manner anymore? don't they have information before hand.
