Yes possibly, but paying for the TV in hospital ! when you have nowt else to do ... a good little earner I reckon.
Daughter said .35p per min. now for phone... hotel charges no doubt.
Reason she left the wards was the problem that there did not seem to be any caring for the patients anymore, irrespective of low staff levels and didn't come into nursing for lots of form filling etc.
At the time of this lady's predicament with the jelly, the nurses were chatting at their station, not rushing around like blue-assed flies. Maybe an isolated instance, but a colleague of mine experienced the same recently with her ageing mum not being encouraged to eat .. she was a little disoriented at the time mind you, but when she visited had to do this job for them. On a lighter note, a little like that advert few years ago now and patient in bed in plaster (?) desperately attempting to physically get the food into mouth .. strawberries and cream? Visitor comes and says "Oh, you don't want these do you ?.. shame to go to waste" and commences to eat them herself.
