Unhappy Re: Should we have mixed-sex wards?

The time before last when the NHS had me as a guest I was in a mixed sex ward with a domineering witch in the next bed who tried to run the ward.

When me and the chap on the other side were having a bit of a chat she would always poke her nose in and try to take over the conversation. She even tried to monopolise the conversation between a patient and the visitors. It’s no wonder her husband never stayed long and she had no other visitors.

So it’s NO, NO, and thrice NO to mixed sex wards.

It is also NO for bringing kids into adult wards. Not from my viewpoint but from theirs.
