Due to a reaction to medication I was left unable to communicate as I would usually do. And unable to walk without help and jerking limbs.
There are some truly wonderful staff that work on that ward. As a nurse myself the small acts of kindness and care received will stay with me forever. There was a young male nurse who managed to understand that I wanted to go to the toilet. He stopped what he was doing held my hand and walked me to the toilet. That act of kindness meant the absolute world to me.
There was only one member letting the team down and they were one of the staff that provide tea/coffee.They just needs to think about what they say to people who have problems communicating.
There are some not so nice people/patients on the ward who were rude and telling mis truths and the staff dealt with these.
