Hospital Horror

[Officer Dibble]

This story caught my eye and struck a chord, as earlier this evening an emotionally drained pal relayed to me a broadly similar tale of hospital horror.




My pal had recently been summoned to hospital for a range of tests and treatment for his dickie ticker, necessitating two or three days stay. However, he was ill prepared for appalling ?third world? conditions on the ward he was assigned to and the ?couldn?t care less? attitude of the staff. He said the ward was filthy and most of his fellow patients seemed to be wretched, pitiable, old women who were wizened and dying, yet had few if any visitors. The nurses were incompetent, and of the few that spoke English he deduced that they couldn?t give a toss. Then, after the evening?s visitors had gone home he began to feel the weight of these circumstances pressing on him like a thousand soiled bedpans. He felt like he had entered the netherworld of Dante and Bosch. Dickie ticker or not he could bare it no more. He leapt from his bed, grabbed his clobber, broke through the ?locked down? ward door and sprinted down to reception where he hailed a cab to take him home.

This follows on from what I was saying about care for the elderly the other day. These are not isolated instances, more and more people are relating similar tales. People understandably don?t want to confront issues like these and deal with them, as it reminds them of their own mortality. They wish they would just go away. But I suggest you should grapple with these issues, because as sure as night follows day, sooner or later, it will be either you or a loved one laying in one of those hospital beds.

So where have all the Brown billions gone? Why are the 100K a year public sector fuckers not recruiting people of the requisite caliber? Why are they not keeping the wards clean? Why are many nurses nowadays seemingly indifferent to their patients? Why isn?t matron or sister laying down the law to the gum chewing Shazz ?n? Trace orderlies? Is it the case that it?s almost impossible to sack incompetent nurses nowadays (or anybody else for that matter)?

Not sure why he objected to promiscuous nurses. I assumed that was
only a fantasy/scene from a porn film. Maybe milord got the wrong
gender of nurse flaunting themselves before him. Then again perhaps
he had a preference for the kdnap scenario instead

More here including patient dying and nurses couldnt give a fuck:

I recently visited an hospital for an ear syringe operation. I can report that despite the poor state of the building and the corridors, the operation ward was clean. The doctors and nursing staff were professional, kind and helpful.

have to concur.i have to visit Derby Royal Infirmary on a very frequent occasion and have always found it clean with the nursing staff and doctors very good and understanding.

Mancroft is a fool .. a report in the Times describes him as a former addict - heroin, cocaine, alcohol and pills. On that basis he's no stranger to hedonism and lack of self control, and yet when he hears accounts of this from nurses he comes over all prim and holier than thou. Tosser of the highest order .. his report to their Lordships was nothing but class terrorism. In contrast to nurses, if you're a GP with clean fingernails, self control and a relatively chaste sex life you can pull down a 60% salary increase for a shorter working week !
