I think that a vast number of Nurses, Doctors, support staff etc in hospitals are neglegent and the majority of the rest just turn a blind eye.
My wife was recently in hospital and saw all sorts of things that should not be happening.
Dirty laundry being put onto a table that had been cleaned that was not cleaned again before the next patient took that bed (and table)
A member of staff emptying cups of tea/coffee down the ward sink and the putting the cups and saucers into a basket with the dirty laundry because, as I heard her say to one of the patients "there is no point comming back with the tea trolley when I am already here".
Staff not washing there hands before/after dealing with patients.
There were more neglegent actions but I can't remember them at the moment.
When she was in after having one of our children they mixed up her medication chart and said she had already had her pain relief when she had not.
Another time they put someone else baby monitor printout on her notes which was a little obvious because she was in for bed rest and not in labour.
Doctors wearing wrist watches is not allowed as they can not wash there hands correctly.
I think those of you that think everything is done correctly in hospitals need to open their eyes and be more aware of what is happening around them.
