well said accyman

what happened in mid staffs was diabolical, we now.have several new reports we have to work under, namely the keogh and francis reports (google them). The CEO's wont have ever walked a ward in their lives, they dont have a clue, the government dont give a flying one, we are down on resources in most parts of our hospital yet we still have to take the crap that is thrown at us via patients and relatives because we dont immediately have what they want, we often get comments like ' this hospital is crap, the papers where right', none of the wards stand a chance, mid staffs has tarred us all with the same brush and its not right, most of us do a blinking good job and take pride in our work, please dont go in to hospital with negative thoughts thanx to the press, most of us do care
