Ouf where to start....
My local Hostpital is a shit hole. I;ve got a bunch of hoor stories about it.

M. He used to be a stone mason (not the secret order kind) and he got a back injury and had to go for surgery at the local hospital. They injected his spine with an Anesthetic he told them he was allergic too. Took him 5 years before he could walk on his own again.

A. Someone M met at hospital. The hospital had given him a repeat perscription and forgotton to follow up. Now A was dying because the drugs he had taken where melting his organs. He was given 12 months to live. When he tried to sue the hospital the lawyers push back the court date by 3 years. ie they expected him to be dead for 2 years before the case went to court.

R. Neighbour with progressive supranuclear palsy. Somehow, when he was late into the disease, food was accidentaly placed in his airtube not his food tube. He died from it. Local hospital refused to admit any hint of a fault. This really upset R's widow and 2 preteen children.

S. My mate with several stomache problems that can leave him in blindiing agony for several hours. His trips to the local hospital have been nightmares. One time they refused to admit him even though he kept calling an ambulance most days because of the pain he was in. He had to threaten to kill himself to get admitted.
Another time he went in near the end of November and was admitted to a quarentined ward. So he picked up a nasty vomiting/diorreah bug on top of his severe stomache pains and almost spent christmass in the hospital. Last time he was in there they kept giving him the usual hospital food no matter how many times he explained that he was on a special diet as part of his treatment.
He's also told me that he never sees nurses wash their hands unless someone higher up is around. Not nice when the nurse comes out from the toulet after helping someone poo and then prepares evenones drinks without washing their hands in between.

M. Came into hospital for an appointment with a doctor. Waited 5 days ebfore the doctor came back from holiday, and another 2 before he managed to see her as he had a massive backlog as staff kept making appointments to see him even though he was away.

My pregnant sister and 15 month old nephew. The hospital didn't tell them that the ward they were visiting was infected with the Nova T virus. She found out thanks to a small, handwirrten notice on her way out.

Me. Years ago I really hurt my elbow and I went to the hospital. They sent me home telling me it was a sprain. I had to get my doctor to make an appointment at another hospital to find out I had chipped a bone in my elbow.
Antoher time I was hit by a car, they left me on a hospital bed in the corridor and lost/forgot about me for a few hours. I amost went into shock.

Fcuk my local hospital. I try to avoid it like the plague.
