Quote by Mehmet Oz
In Turkey, you're not allowed to be left alone in the hospital. The nurse teaches the family how to do things, and somebody is always there with the patient.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the cultural practice in Turkey where it is not common for patients to be left alone in hospitals. Unlike in some other countries, the responsibility of caregiving is shared between healthcare professionals and the patient's family. Nurses play an active role in teaching the family members about caregiving tasks and ensuring that someone is constantly present with the patient. This approach reflects a high value placed on familial support and involvement in healthcare, fostering a sense of solidarity and providing emotional and practical assistance throughout the patient's hospital stay.
