i can understand confusion on a busy ward when someone is dressed up as Santa
Yeah, it's unfortunate, but I think this is more of a publicity crusade more than anything else. |

Good that they take the time to make a grovelling apology to a transsexual woman, while elderly people are sitting in their own piss and not being given enough to eat or drink. Nice to see the NHS has it's ducks in a row when it comes to grovelling apologies and who gets them.

The nurse was wrong for responding the way she did to be fair but is it really worth complaining about?

I'm in full agreement I was visiting a relative in Hospital a couple of weeks ago. Another old person in the bay with them, said they needed the toilet. The Nurse said, we only took you an hour ago, we are busy now, we'll take you in half an hour. Staggering and unacceptable. |

Deadly serious.
I and the person visiting with me have raised the issue which will likely get lip service only, it disregarded as we are not that person's next if kin or relative. It is actually, although a minority of instances, terrifying what loved ones are treated like in some Hospitals by some staff. I'm sorry but for me being overworked and understaffed doesn't cut it with me as an excuse for the removal of anyone's dignity. Last edited by joeysteele; 08-04-2019 at 09:44 PM. |

The day my mum was told she had terminal cancer and had weeks to live, bearing in mind at her admission to hospital, she thought she had pulled something in her back, when we left for the evening, she had a massive panic attack, the nurses sat with her to calm her breathing and did not leave her until she was calm. If another patient had needed the bathroom they would have had a judgement call to make....its not always that they are uncaring, sometimes they need to prioritise.

Furthermore, even had they offered a bedpan would have been more acceptable. Livia was right. Literally people are left lying in wet beds, which ends up being even more time consuming for staff to deal with. Then they likely moan at said patient. Would you like to think your Parent got treated like that in hospital. Last edited by joeysteele; 08-04-2019 at 09:51 PM. |

It's terrible, but not necessarily the staff themselves at fault. There should be more of them, but that's not on them. |

...misgendering ...(..in the context of this story and we can’t ever tell on the accuracy of media stories..)...is something which awareness should be being raised...it is something which is of extreme importance to the person going through their transformation...I do believe an apology was probably appropriate and that apology was made...and in giving that apology...?...it hasn’t stretched further the NHS service as it is at the moment...which is already very stretched with everyone or most people doing their very best...it isn’t a one thing or another situation for me though....an apology is completely in the control of a person/organisation to do...so when it’s required it should be done...other issues within the NHS and its struggles as mentioned in the thread are a lot more difficult to tackle...but yeah, I don’t see why one thing has any bearing on another....

"I complained at first to the NHS PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service) and I received a comment back from the assistant head of nursing who said they apologised for saying 'Happy Christmas Sir'.
"But I appealed and made another complaint about that because they didn't speak to me or speak to my two witnesses."Now I have had a letter back from the deputy chief executive/chief nurse which basically says that the nurse involved has no recollection of making the comment - but again they never spoke to my two witnesses." an apology had already been issued though, but this lady wanted to take further...I appreciate they might have been hurt, but I am not sure this warranted a meeting with everyone including witnesses, we all get hurt in life...we need to deal with it in an appropriate way

...I guess there’s being hurt or upset in life and there’s making a stand for something you believe in, in life as well...and this was obviously something she felt she wanted or needed to pursue further ..which I also think is appropriate if that’s what she felt...for me I don’t feel that this in any way takes from other issues within the NHS...and it’s something that hopefully can be dealt with satisfactorily for everyone...some things sadly can’t be ‘fixed’....

...I have to say I do think personally that she raised the issue in exactly the correct way..in that she didn’t at the time detract from any medical care, which was the thing of prime importance...then it would most definitely had been...’well what’s misgendering in terms of importance compared to potential required medical treatment’..you know...she had witnesses (...apparently according to the article..)...so with those witnesses prepared to speak as to the incident...(...but they were never called to speak..)...she officially wrote to the hospital administration because what had happened to her had breached their non discrimination policy...to me she did it all exactly right in raising the issue...

...not in a hospital care setting where those requiring medical assistance are the only thing to immediately address...
