Late on a Tuesday afternoon, the Manager of Patient Experience received a phone call asking her to call Karri, the wife of one of our patients who was on a ventilator. Karri was struggling with updating her mother-in-law because she was very upset with the news she received, making it difficult to call her husband’s mom. Karri asked the nurse on the phone if her mother-in-law could call in to get updates and was bluntly advised, “No we only allow one family member to call in to get updates.” Although Karri understood the protocol, she wished it had been a different response.
