Why Patients Can't Sleep at the Hospital - NYTimes.com

Why Patients Can't Sleep at the Hospital - NYTimes.com, by Theresa Brown, R.N.:"During nursing school, I remember my first clinical instructor initiating us into one of the paradoxical truths of health care: “You don’t come to the hospital to sleep.” Patients need to sleep — for emotional health, for wound healing, to maintain a strong immune system — and yet the drama of fractured and broken sleep plays out night after night in hospitals around the country. Recently, a patient was set to be discharged the next day. But he needed a transfusion of platelets before we could remove the intravenous line that had been used to deliver chemotherapy.""
