This doesn't surprise me at all, the standards at hospitals have steadily declined, I was fortunate to have small operation at a private hospital, and the difference is tremendous,wish that I could afford that for my husband.
My nephew is a paramedic in London, his work is so stressful, he works 12 hour shifts, they had a call to visit a man who was chronically constipated. He managed to walk to the Ambulance but died before he got to the hospital. Without going into gory details the whole ambulance interior and my nephew were covered in the poor mans stomach and bowel contents. They took the man to the hospital, this was well,over his shift times had ended. he then had to clean the Ambulance out for the next patient before he could go home. Knackered and shocked by the death. I don't know how he carries on day after day like that.
