Foley Catheter (Female) Insertion Steps and Tips, Nursing Skill

[@RitaMBuda-tz6bi]

So humiliating and degrading. They had the gall to violate me this way while I was unconscious under ga. I wish I knew who did the insertion, a male or female nurse. I'm angry at being catherised in the first place, especially since I couldn't advocate for myself. I also never had a foreign object inside my body and would never had allowed it. It was my very first surgery and hospitalization and it was also my last. NEVER NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!😣😣😣😣😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬

You have shared a very personal experience and have a a lot of strong feelings about this and a strong narrative of being violated. I don’t know if you will ever be able to see this process as one where the healthcare providers acted in your best interest - it is my wish you can find some peace The alternative would have been to let you either risk septic shock by retaining urine (which would have ended up with a catheter for monitoring) or you urinate all over yourself - requiring them to clean your genital area every time you did Not sure which you would have advocated for

@NurseMinder I figured you would find this offensive. Put yourself in my shoes. I am modest and a private person in every way. No one explained anything to me before or after surgery. I absolutely can't stand having anyone doing something to me and not even ask or explain anything. My modesty was disregarded completely. I would have asked for a Depends or other disposable underwear. What's wrong with that? I didn't know I could have worn a modesty bra as well. I don't want unnecessary prolonged exposure. I don't know how many males were in the OR. Women have been violated while unconscious. I could have been sexually abused and I wouldn't know it. I watched for signs of infection or if I was shaved in that area. Luckily for them, I had neither or there would have been hell to pay. Believe it. I know lawyers who would love to handle a case like this.

@@RitaMBuda-tz6biwhat I think is you had an experience that was upsetting and you are committed to giving this experience a dark power in your life It is your choice how you move forward and how you talk about it
