  1. Pam Flint

  2. Getting a Stoma • Urostomy – bladder cancer • After surgery I had an infection • My reaction was PANIC/dispair • I have never made a real difference in life!

  3. Who am I? • I wanted to make a difference. This is why I am here today… • I am a nightmare patient.

  4. Me as a patient • I was rude – very rude. • My family were embarrassed by me • I showed my feelings clearly • I met nurses who could cope with me – and met some who could not!

  5. My friend • It is perfectly understandable to worry – but you don’t need to be unhappy (Lucian Freud)

  6. Experiences for Stoma Nurses • To help someone you have to understand where they are at that point in their life. • The relationship between stoma nurse and patient is special. The trust should be taken for granted. But sometimes needs to be earned. • By exposing your own vulnerabilities you put the relationship on a more equal footing. However please leave your ego at home. • My personal experience with Laura

  7. It is difficult to cope with information when you are in shock.

  8. This is not criticism • I respect nurses for what you do. I respect nurses and what you do.

  9. Thank you
