I was in Minor injuries ward when i noticed in Plaster ward an old asian lady looking absolutely terrified sat on wheelchair 2 Nurses walked past her few times shaking their head and verbally saying something to her. I walked up to her and asked her if she was OK she said she wants to walk few yards if i can help her get up.... Nurse said leave her she got dementia her family left her they gone home to get something i said to Nurse Ok if her family left her is it Ok for you 2 walk past her and stress her out even more they said its not their problem.
They said we dont care what happens to her if her own family have left her i said u have duty of care u cant just neglect another human being sat on wheelchair in middle of nowhere at this point the old lady who ust have been in her late 80s started crying to which they both said "oh here we go Lord" i am absolutely disgusted by their behaviour i did not take their names but i know their faces really well...
the attitude and disrespectful behaviour shown by them was awful.
"NEGLECTED"
