I’,m wondering where the family was. I recently spent a week in the hospital and I probably had less than 10 total hours alone. The hospital staff even let everyone stay with me when I was in the ICU.
That’s the way it’s always been with us. Just going home for the night is weird and, if the person is uncomfortable enough or sick enough, won’t be considered.
Following his death, a nurse allegedly inquired whether the family, from Balham, South-West London, was 'finished' and asked a matron in front of them whether she could 'bag him up'.
