tv; the royal today

[Caribeing]

Watched the first episode of the Royal Today
spin off The Royal would you rather be in hospital in the 60's or today will we get hooked on this series? Typical of todays world all
aggression and the odd bit of glamour thrown in1

I turned it off after 10 mins, I suppose it may get better but I doubt it, I loved the original programme THE ROYAL, took me back to my childhood (and older), I would much rather be in a hospital in the 60's they were a darn sight cleaner than hospitals are today.

I was in hospital in the late 50s and they even let us smoke in bed!

Don't agree with the smoking in bed, but 'back in the day' there used to be a very scary senior nurse called Matron who ruled the hospital with an iron fist and she used to check on the cleaning and if it wasn't done properly then there was hell to pay, there is a lot to be said for old fashioned values and going around running a white glove on surfaces would be a great way to start, I was cleaner in a hospital albeit a private one (though it shouldn't make a difference) and the supervisor used to go around after you had cleaned your allocated rooms and believe me she didn't mince words if it wasn't done properly, I trained as a nurse after a couple of years and since then have watched things go from bad to worse, the majority of hospital cleaners just do not care!! if you tell them they look at you with complete contempt, and they don't have anyone checking up on them.
