My mum, who is terminally ill and was in hospital feeling unwell, was kicked out of her bed because, as she was told by a member of staff, there’s patients in here sicker than you. All of this shouted across the unit for everyone to hear.
I am absolutely appalled and furious of this treatment, how a member of staff can have such a lack of empathy for someone who’s been struggling for months baffles me.
As a result of the extra stress and anger my mum felt, when we eventually got her home she was sick and for someone who’s struggling to eat at the moment just makes things so much worse.
I expect a reply to this complaint, as I will not let this member of staff get away with this. And just to confirm my anger, other members of staff in the ward were shocked at their actions as well. The other staff were lovely, it’s just a shame that one member of staff can tarnish what was a previously good and caring experience.
