Some people are terribly neglected and treated appallingly in hospital by the very people who should be caring for them. My father's mother was a nurse at the Royal London, doing her training there as a young woman, she also worked at St Thomas's and other famous London hospitals and it saddens her very much how things have changed. When she herself had to go into hospital she was so distressed with her treatment that we removed her and paid for her to go into a private clinic. Sadly, many people aren't able to do that. This was six years ago now, under a Labour government. You can't make people care, it's not a module on a degree... it's something you can either do, or you can't. And if you can't, nursing probably isn't for you.
