A very sad, and all too common story. I can't comment on whether he was descriminated against but too many people have similar stories. My nan was treated very similarly in hospital too, I had a run in with the nursing staff as she had not been "seen to" for a number of hours and was in need of the bathroom and cold...there is a distinct lack of nursing staff and the ones we have are very overworked and do seem to compromise compassion a lot of times. Although, I must say that some nursing staff I have encountered recently have been excellent...
