My father was admitted to North Devon District Hospital a week ago with a broken arm and had surgery. Nobody bothered to contact me, the next of kin, and when I finally managed to speak to the staff nurse I asked her how SHE would feel in my position, she retorted that she would not speak to me because I was upset and slammed the phone down on me. What makes it worse is that this is not the first time this has happened.
