Apparently it is only of slight concern for a 90 year old patient to not eat anything for 9 days.
After feeling sick and refusing some meals my mother in law is now unable to eat and the staff that do care don't have time, the ward manager doesn't care.
It feels like they are trying to free up a bed as a staff nurse was reprimanded for calling a doctor when the patient was quiet clearly unwell and has since been diagnosed with yet another infection contracted during her stay.
