I know it's what she seems to be saying but it's rubbish....
Are we to believe a patient came in at 7st and did not eat for over a week,
her tube became blocked and the same bag of food sat on the drip for a week!
Meanwhile visitors,doctors and nurses don't notice?
Have there not always been good and bad nurses, why is it considered such a modern phenomenon....
they are better trained and educated than ever before, do educated people lack compassion?
