"Post op stay in Edgefield ward"

Of the six patients on the ward three were clearly mentally ill, one being so confused that a male agency nurse had to sit by his bed all night as he continually threw the bedclothes off and lifted both legs exposing himself,

Although I fully understand that he had no control over his actions when I mentioned to a doctor that my young female visitors would find his behaviour unacceptable they were very abrupt telling me that everybody was entitled to treatment.

I agree that everybody is entitled to treatment but is it acceptable therefore to expect a ten year old visitor to be subjected to full body exposure from a middle aged man?

I have in the past been absolutely delighted with treatment at the N&N and the staff this particular doctor disappointed me with her patronising attitude.

It seems some Consultants think they are above needing bedside manners.
