34 Answers
What kind of people are now running hospitals? Not knocking it by any means but some people seem to be in the wrong jobs.
My mum went into hospital on Thursday for a knee replacement. Shes 84 and has got heart and kidney failure but was given the go ahead for the surgery (which surprised us all) but the surgery went ahead. Went to see her yesterday and she was crying with the pain. On top of that she now has low oxygen levels and other 'complications'. Havnt been able to visit today but rang my sister who has. My sister had a word with the ward nurse and asked..
Why is she been left in so much pain, answer...shes in the best place
Why is her oxygen levels so low...shes in the best place
Why is she having trouble breathing....we don't know but shes in the best place.
Is a straight answer too much trouble?
My mum also told my sister that she'd asked the same nurse for some extra pain relief and got fobbed off with ''yes, we will sort it later'' and then went of duty.
I'm going up the hospital tomorrow and if I don't get any satisfactory answers then God help them....

The nurse said "I don't know"
At the same hospital a nurse on the ward spent most of the time on the computer looking at the internet and when you interrupted her, boy did she get shirty.

Like I said, I'm half cut at the mo but if I disappear from AB for a while its because I'm in custody for battering hospital staff that couldn't give a f*** about my mum. I'm seriously worried (given her age) And we cant get a straight answer, Just ''she's in the best place''
No *** Sherlock, but that's not answering the question.
I feel like I'm about to go of my head again...

Unfortunately, nailit, just about the worst place anybody can be when they are ill is in hospital. No proper rest (nurses fannying about all night keeping you awake); no proper food; waking you up (when you finally do get to kip) to give you a sleeping pill; exposed to all sorts of infectious diseases.
I do hope your Mum recovers well.

My daughter used to be a nurse and when the degree based nursing training was brought in, around the year 2000, she had the feeling that nurses would not have the same dedication as the ones who, like her, were trained on the ward by a sister who really knew her stuff. Daughter left nursing to have her children and never returned to it. I think she was proved right.
my mum is currently in hospital and i think the nursing care is good by and large. I am too far away to get there but the family are visiting regularly. I phoned the hospital on the phone they use for patients and ended up speaking with a very helpful doctor. Who explained my mums problems and what they are doing to alleviate them, i am keeping my fingers crossed that she gets the treatment she needs and deserves. Luckily my niece is a nurse at the same hospital so can pop down and see her
