Ive just buried an uncle. Elderly man, farmer, hard as nails. Never a days sick in his 80 odd years - typical farmer mindset, didnt hold with all those quacks and illness malarky. He had an accident - Went into hospital for an operation - and mrsa got him.
The hospital he went into was my local hospital growing up. It had a world class reputation when I was a child. Medics and nurses came from all over the world to train, teach and practice there.
However, the Hygiene Service Assessment Scheme report dated this october, rates the hospital as poor.
The ratemyhospital website has hundreds of comments basically saying the place is the most filthy, disgusting, and demoralising place they have ever been in and the building, which domineers the town, needs burning to the ground.
Mixed in with the inevitable sadness, specially at this time if year, is now a large amount of anger that a once world renowned clinical practice has been reduced to this.
And to cap it all my mothers fallen and broken her arm.
Needless to say she did not spend one second longer than necessary in the hospital. The last screw was barely turned in her arm when she was in my sisters car outa there.
Sad.
