The NHS killed thousands of patients on that brutal scheme. I watched my mother for over a week succumb to that nasty pile of money orientated shit, and the fact was, you had no choice. It was the humane and peaceful option, according to the doctor. who couldn't even look in our direction afterwards.
You wouldn't treat an animal like that.
No, you don't want to be ill when you are old in a hospital. The NHS will kill you off, and this whole episode doesn't surprise me in the least.
When my mother was in their care, she fell and broke her hip. It was four or five days before they operated on her. The nurses said she was comfortable, but I could tell immediately from the expression on her face she was anything but. There was then a huge song and dance made while they poured Morphine down her to alleviate her suffering.
If I hadn't turned up to visit every day, I'm convinced they wouldn't have done anything.
That was just one of many failings while she was in hospital. In all honesty, I could write a book about it. They tick their boxes as and when required on their forms, but it will ultimately destroy old people.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is another scandal just like this one at hospitals all over the country.
The NHS don't like old people in their care. I saw enough of it for months to realise that.
Maybe one of the flaws in a system strapped for cash..........and beds
A private hospital would want to keep you alive for opposite reasons, paid for by your insurance company.
