I had to throw this in here. For the last week, Caren's suction canister has be dangling from the wall connection via a 18 inch section of suction tubing. I noticed it as odd, normally there's a thing on the wall that holds the canister, but really didn't think much of it.
This morning, after changing out the full canister, our nurse proceeded to tape a canister holder to the wall unit to hold the canister higher. Apparently she noticed the missing holder and it was bothering her! She said they recently renovated this room and re-arranged the components on the wall and either forgot to, or discounted the importance of including a mount for the canister holder.
The nurse kept saying if the tape bothers us, just say so and she'll remove it. I just laughed. At a hospital where they can remove a colon, transplant a heart, and reconstruct a damaged face, we have a suction canister attached to the wall with medical tape! I mean, if we're gonna use tape, couldn't it at least be Duct Tape?
For the record, the tape in no way impedes functionality. In fact, I think it's working better with the canister closer to the wall connection! Just a little unsightly.
