Your last line, there's no way I'd disagree with at all.

You mentioned diabetes there too.
I have actually had to intervene for a friend hospitalised and also diabetic.
Where they were stopped from taking their own blood sugar levels.
Plus where a Diabetic Consultant had put a higher minimum level for their blood sugar level on their notes.
Which wasn't carried out.
They ended up in a dangerous hypo but fortunately were found in time.
It is really worrying.

I know the Pope will be constantly and intensively watched and cared for.
As you point out however others, even here in the UK, are often put at risk by negligence.

You really have to be asking and checking these days to keep yourself and others safe

A few years ago my dad was in hospital for an operation on his wrist
Pre op team came round and on the notes he was having an operation on his back

They started the conversation, so we are going to be operating on your back today
My dad said you are bloody not it’s my wrist
