Today, I visited my Aunt in hospital. Another patient got jealous, so she threw a tantrum. She threw things at us, pulled her drip out, threw herself to the floor, screamed, pounded the floor with her fists and pissed herself. My aunt is still waiting for a new room, and the staff blame me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I visited my Mum. She has invited me to visit her before, but kept cancelling whenever I tried to arrange an actual visit. I finally went over anyway, only to find her in a soiled nappy, room in ruins, with kidney failure-induced dementia. Sometimes they hide it well over the phone. FML
Today, my perfectly healthy grandmother came to stay for Christmas. First, she persuaded my family to give her my bedroom. That would have been fine, until she demanded she should also have a bucket to piss in under my bed too. FML
Today, I was woken up to my mother screaming obscenities at me, all because I threw up last night after days of not feeling well, and the flushing of the toilet afterwards woke her up. FML
Today, I went to the hospital to visit my aunt and her newborn baby. The receptionist gave me the room number, and I went and my aunt was in the bathroom so I cuddle the baby, only to find that the woman who came out of the bathroom was a complete stranger. I was holding her baby. FML
Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. FML
Today, I was dealing with a psychiatric patient with a colonostomy bag. She got agitated and ripped the bag from her abdomen and threw it at my face. I got a bag filled with poop thrown at my face. FML
Today, my sister and I had a fight. In her rage, she threw piles of dirty laundry at me. One of her bloody panties hit me on the face. FML
Today, my violent geriatric patient was trying to escape the facility. When I intervened, she poked my belly then told me I was squishy and that I might explode. FML
Today, my mother-in-law moved in with my husband and I, where she shits the bed and herself. There's a waiting list for the nursing home, so in the meantime I’m cleaning up her shit and she isn’t even my mother. FML
Today, one of my clients fired me from my cleaning job, all because I had to cancel last minute after I had to drive myself to the hospital with a severe allergic reaction. She screamed at me until I hung up on her. She's my aunt and godmother. FML

Another patient got jealous of you visiting your aunt, and the staff blames you for the chaos she created as a result... How exactly does this equate to you being at fault, again? Assuming that this other patient was merely your aunt's hospital room and not someone you actually knew, it cannot rightfully be blamed on you that she flipped out. It isn't your fault that her own family didn't happen to visit the same day you came to see your aunt. The hospital staff need to pull the sticks out of their asses.

What a bitch! Op, your actions did not warrant this kind of response from anyone! An action performed out of love for another is a beautiful thing, so fight that hospital staff for not keeping their patient under control!

You might want to seek out someone higher up in the staff. Sounds like they don't want to be bothered with patients getting visitors at all.

Wait was she jealous that your Aunt got a visitor and she didn't, or like... because they were roomies (you said your Aunt is waiting for a new room, so I'm GUESSING they shared one) and likely talked to each other sometimes, was she jealous of you spending time with your Aunt? I heard that some people form extreme attachments incredibly easily, so like. I'm sitting here thinking she was jealous that your Aunt's attention was being taken away from her for some reason X'D

I think she needs to be put in a different type of hospital

I work in hospital security. I find this is OPs story questionable. I don't doubt she angered a psych patient, but for the staff to blame her requires she did something wrong.

As much of a bitch that she was with this, I kind of pity her. She's in a hospital with most likely no one who visits her. If I was in the same position I wouldn't throw a tantrum like a total child, but I'd be pretty damn cut.

The staff probably got mad because the incident got them in trouble. Patients that throw violent tantrums are a danger to themselves and others. She was probably either supposed to be in the the mental ward, have a private room or be in a bed fitted with restraints. It sounds like that place had some over crowding and cut corners to fit in all the patients. The staff is just pissed that they got caught.

was it a mental ward?

I think that patient may need to be moved to a mental hospital if they're acting like that.
