"Caring - Safe environment - Far from it."

About: Dorset County Hospital

So sad to say that my recent Emergency trip to DCH filed me with horror, I was in for 3 days and admittedly it was partially over a weekend but:- They appeared to be short staffed on a very busy ward. Cleanliness was an issue. There was no personal care or personal hygiene assistance When Drs rounds happened, not once did they pull the curtains and they told 2 patients that they were dying and they might as well go on home - this was all going on in loud voices and the rest of us were left to console them - utterly disgraceful Where is the care or compassion.? Obviously not taught these days
