So I doubt these conditions are confined solely to the UK and their NHS, but I have a feeling they'd only get worse here in the U.S. under Obamacare.
Was she arrested for her efforts?
Can’t you see the kind of workers we will get for our hospitals if Obamacare passes? They know they don’t have to work.
The thing to do at that point is to demand to see the head nurse, and have your visitors demand to see the head nurse. If that doesn’t work, call the administrator’s office.
You should have used your napkin. How is your lack of hygiene the fault of staff?
Three words, if you want good care...
Non union hospital. Hard workers go home tired and the slackers are fired.
“Obamacare-coming to a hospital near you, soon”.
Next non-shocker: Cancer-victim doctor, being “treated” in a 4 room ward, found it necessary to climb out of bed, grab nearby stethascope and medications, and treat his other 3 inn mates.
Coming to a hospital near you.
I’ll name names:
St. Francis Hospital, Peoria, Illinois, 1990.
When I was wheeled into surgery and was waiting for the anesthetic to be administered, I couldn’t help but see the dust bunnies along the walls.
A surgery room!
Next day, same old same old. I went to head of both NH/hospital and complained.Voila! The bath became shiny clean and smelled of lemons instead of urine.
How crazy is it to have to go to the Director of the whole operation to get anything done?
Lazy workers!
lazy supervisors!
uncaring dir. of nursing home (she was underling of Dir over both hosp./nh.It is a crisis of irresponsibility and lack of pride. No one is supposed to have to work for pay. Just hand it over to them, no matter what!
vaudine
she’s lucky, under obama care you won’t even be let into the hospital.
At a hospital (that shall remain nameless) my daughter was staying at long term, my wife had the same response. What was strange was that different floors were of different quality. The burn center and sixth floor were great - clean, attentive, and well managed; the fourth floor was dreadful - dirty, slothful and neglectful. On the fourth floor they wouldn’t pay attention to my wife; I had to intimidate some nurses (loom, frown and be persistent - careful what you say in a hospital) to get them to provide morphine for my daughter who was literally screaming from the itching caused by her grafts. My wife had change her diapers, otherwise she’d have lain in her own filth for hours.
I hate to think what it would be like under Obamacare. Hell on Earth?
David Asman, the Fox News reporter wrote an interesting account of his experiences in 2005:
There’s No Place Like Home
What I learned from my wife’s month in the British medical system.

As far as we could tell in our month at Queen’s Square, the only method of keeping the floors clean was an industrious worker from the Philippines named Marcello, equipped with a mop and pail. Marcello did the best that he could. But there’s only so much a single worker can do with a mop and pail against a ward full of germ-laden filth.
Only a constant cleaning by me kept our little corner of the ward relatively germ-free. When my wife and I walked into Cornell University Hospital in New York after a month in England, the first thing we noticed was the floors. They were not only clean. They were shining! We were giddy with the prospect of not constantly engaging in germ warfare.

Only 4 beds in that ward? or is that like a pod?
