My father died on January 18,2014. He was at Mother Angeline's. We had a conference with the hospice representative January 16,2014,whom my siblings and I really liked. Our issue is with the hospice nurse. She didn't seem to be adequately trained in the fine art of communication,especially under stressful, trying times---where was the empathy? Instead of saying things like.."I hear what you're saying"..."I'm listening",she got defensive and after storming out of our dad's room...threw her stethoscope on the nurses counter. I understand that working in hospice is a extremely challenging job,especially with such a large family as mine. But I would have thought that hospice gave extensive training in these delicate situations,there was NO sensitivity! The event I'm referring to happened on Friday January 17,2014. Thank you for all you do! Patient.....Robert H. Roelle Sr.
