My sister is in ward 45 in Tameside Hospital, a stroke ward, whist visiting yesterday, an obviously very poorly lady in the opposite bed who was it seemed semi conscious, and not aware of her surroundings, was lay open mouthed, a nurse came to check on her and noticed she had a dry mouth, she immediately went and brought what looked like a sponge on a small stick and wet the inside of this lovely lady’s mouth, although the lady didn’t seem aware if this, the nurse did it for her comfort, I was so touched and privileged to witness that level of care, the nurse talked to her the whole time, she is a credit to her profession. It’s such a difficult and often thankless job, caring for such poorly people, but very well done to staff if ward 45, you are inspirational! ! !
