UK Grandmother Disgusted By Filthy Hospitals
An interesting story out of the UK concerning hospital conditions:
A grandmother was so disgusted by the filthy conditions and neglect on a hospital ward that she bathed and cared for the patients herself.
Janet Halsall, 74, was admitted to Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, for three days to have a scan on her liver, when she was shocked to see staff repeatedly ignore pleas for help and leave fellow elderly patients to ‘fend for themselves’.
The kind-hearted pensioner was so appalled by the conditions in the hospital that she bathed, washed and tucked in the frail elderly patients herself.
Every system has its flaws.
I think a lot of anecdotal stories can come out on both ends and, bureaucratically, we are going to be doomed to a health care system that is flawed.
Consider that humans in the UK and in the USA live longer lives than humans have ever lived, on average…
Can it really get any better than it currently is?
