Anything else?
I was shocked while visiting a good friend,first thing to greet me was the smell of stale air and bodys,instead of clean wards smelling of disinfectant that we used to smell on entering a hospital,the ward looked like a bomb had hit it.then to find my friend with phlem in his mouth and dried blood around his lips,blood stained dressing on his arm,the butterfly intravienus on his hand coming loose and dropped off when he moved because it had never been looked at or replaced since admission 8days previous,all of these things just basic care,instead of neglect,i felt so sorry for him and his wife .
