But worse even than that, under the next bed was one of those things they attach to a needle to take a blood sample. It was lying there on the floor and there were a couple of splatters of what looked like dried blood near it.

Is that bad enough? Well, brace yourself because it gets worse. My friend told me that she'd been to the shower room and someone had used the shower tray as a toilet and the solid waste was there all day. She'd reported it in the morning and it was still there when she went in there in the evening.

Words fail me.

Busman is due to go in for a pre-planned op on Tuesday. How many germs is he going to encounter whilst in there????
