I have been at this dialysis center since June 1. I really like all of the employees there as individuals, but as a team they leave alot to be desired. I left there 12 hours ago in tears. My nurse and my technician got into an argument over my treatment and both walked out of the bay. They came back with the clinic director whon told me what my options for treatment were and we went from there. I thought everything was fine, but the tension between them just got worse and by the end of the day I thought they were going to come to blows. This is not the first time these two have done this, but I'm the only patient they fight over. They are both very competent women and I genuinelt like them both. The center director says she wants them to work this out among themselves. I really think she should get involved because patients' stress levels are being effected. Everyone, not just me, is stressed out by their unprofessional behavior.
Please, serious answers only.

Ok, I have been a nursing administrator for some years. The individual squabbling between caregivers is UNACCEPTABLE. I would write a letter to the manager and tell her although you enjoy the individuals care when it is just one of them, tell her you can no longer be the patient of both of them at the same time. Tell her it is stressing you, and that is detrimental to your dialysis treatment. I would copy the letter to the person above her as well. Maybe the manager needs help in dealing with these two. BUT you are the consumer and you do not need to be in the middle of this.
YOu can also report the situation to your local Department of Health, or the owners of the clinic. Also tell your nephrologist about the problem. The MD can help.
Take care, and don't be a pawn.

None of the administrators I know would allow this sort of behavior in their facility. I have seen people fired on the spot for this type of behavior in the presence of patients. If you have an option of where to go for your treatments, change. I've never known any dialysis center to have this problem before.

This problem should not bother you too much. I can understand your feelings. You have obviously deveopled some emotional attachment with those workers. The problem should be resolved strictly between the dialysis center management.

Call the State. Threaten to call the Nursing Board on the nurses. Threaten to tell the local news and paper.
