"Visiting a patient at St Bernards Hospital"

I visited my friend/ partner in hospital this week.

She cannot locate either her hearing aids or glasses both are very important, especially the former, since she has been diagnosed with dementia and hearing clearly is of the utmost importance. The nurses were unable to find them.

I think these items should be securely located and possibly when a patient goes to bed the nurse knows where items like this are. They may be found in due course.

Also I asked to speak to a doctor for an update. This again did not happen. One reason I wanted to speak a doctor was because the day before my visit, My partner's relative was contacted by a doctor and asked if she would give permission for a sedative to be used on her, because she was agitated and wanting to go home.

I wanted to find out what medication she was on, I could not get this information from the nurses.
