Re: Nursing Care
You would have thought the nurses would have put the jelly in a cup, at least this way she wouldnt have slopped it all down her front. I bet the nurses were more distressed at having to change her bedding after her tea !
Too many elderly and frail patients in hospital are just left to get along with it, regardless !
The wards ive been in i couldnt wait to get out. Last year when i was in hospital, one patient had mislaid her false teeth. They turned up a few hours later in the gob of a 90 odd year old woman who hadnt worn dentures for years and you could tell. You could see the elderly were just waiting to die and be relieved from their miserable existance. The only excercise or attention they seemed to get was if they needed the toilet or their back side wiping. Their teas was plonked on the side tables and left to go cold.
Im not calling the nurses, what with the cutbacks etc nobody seems to care.
