Hospital really isn’t a place for sick people. Despite (still) being a massive supporter of
the NHS, it’s been something of an eye opener to witness at first hand the
challenges that an under-resourced, over stretched hospital faces. With a friend
currently enduring day 7 of an unexpected stay, I’ve witnessed with my own eyes
the limited number of health care professionals available, resulting in delays
in diagnosis and medication, the bed-blocking but incapable patients who really
should be cared for elsewhere, the noisy, industrial environment that detracts
from healing….I fear for its future if current funding and practices continue
