Yet nothing is said... Is Sister afraid to impose the rules??

well since you brought it up ...
during my stay in hospital an elderly asian lady passed away and he family came to mourn their loss
although annoying their exagerated wailing and screaming was understandable as it is their way but what realy upset the nurses was that they refused to let them take away the body and kept using their mobile phones right there on the ward to tell even more family members to come down to mourn and litteraly pushed nurses away when they tried removing the body and eventually security had to guard the ward to stop more getting in , i personaly counted at least 45 people coming to see the body and there was more than 5 people at a time screaming etc
i would like to add this was a cancer ward and there were very sick people there who were on sesitive machinery which mobile phones could mess up and also could have done with some peace and quiet especialy those who were terminaly ill
edit:
sorry i wandered off topic again but i suppose a dead body covered in blood left in the bed for 4 or more hours isnt too hygenic either
