Care in hospital - holy shit

I was living under a rock apparently and didn't know just how bad hospital stays has gotten until I experienced it myself. Not enough staff showing up, messed up schedules, plus whatever else is going on is resulting in people just being ignored in our hospitals. I saw people in my ward waiting 4 hrs to be helped to the washroom, being denied bathing. You get vitals and pain meds and that's it.

If you speak up, you're just labelled as a "frustrated" patient and move on. You cant even ask about your prognosis without just getting an eye roll. They will not, or can't, share written information about your care

My stay was 2x longer than it needed to be due to treatments not being administered until I asked to be discharged and taking 6+ hours to do discharge paperwork with one paragraph written on it. I was just sitting next to my bed, dressed and packed for hours. Patients staying in the hallway or ER would have really appreciated my spot.

There must be groups out there that are trying to advocate for better access to our own records and better care while in treatment. Any leads are helpful.
