"Mat Base"

Upon staying in the mat base ward I was shocked to find the bed next to me still with 2 visitors at bedside at 11pm, one of these visitors was a man whom I had the indignity of being forced to walk past each time I needed to go to the bathroom to change from being visibly soaked with amniotic fluid. There seemed to be no quiet time, with patients not being discouraged from watching tv with no headphones or making loud mobile phone calls etc at 11pm. I also had to wait at least 20mins for someone to answer my call bell as my bed was soaked with amniotic fluid. The curtains around my bed were dirty, there were food crumbs from previous patient on windowsill and blood stains on the wall.
