Watch Panorama Tonight.

[smudge]

I know that not many people give a flying f*** about the care of the old, but tonights Panorama is about Sussex Royal. Just seen some clips on South Today & it was quite shocking.

WTF are they doing up at that shithole? So much for "caring nurses", the ones secretly filmed should be prosecuted!

It happens everywhere. Got a friend who used to work in an old people's home, said the staff there would sometimes smack the olds when they were pissed off.

I agree. My father was a cancer patient there who died a couple of years ago. The treatment he received was worse than a pig in a zoo. I would not wish a stay in the RSCH on the cancer wards to anybody.

I shall be watching with interest.

Worthing hospital is as bad. My Dad died 7 years ago and spent the last 3 weeks of his life there. I was running up and down the country and found him in bed in his own faeces once when I visited and being neglected.
I couldn't get a doctor to give me a straight answer.
He needed the toilet once and I asked a nurse to help him. I was told,'He's not my patient' and she walked off. Ned took my Dad in the end.

I wrote a letter of complaint which was fobbed off.
The only reason I didn't go to the press with it was because my step-Mum was so ill herself it would have distressed her more.

thats disgraceful. Its like no body gives a shit anymore. Is there no compassion anymore. Yorkie have things always been like this? Day to day i get more dis-heartened at the stuff i read in papers see on the news or experience myself. Very sad i could never be so calass to a sick or dying person or anyone.

You have to be an immigrant to be treated well in this f***ed up country

Well things must have changed somewhat since your poor father passed on. I've had several stints in Worthing Hospital in the last two years and really have no complaints, I was well looked after (and if you knew why I was there it makes my good treatment even more surprising).

It was 7 years ago bhaexpress.

No Brighton b0y it hasn't always been like this. I last went into hospital for a major op in 1984 and was treated brilliantly.
Everything was spotless and even the food was reasonable.

A hospital is like any service organisation - some 'customers' will have good experiences and others will have bad.

Some will have good experiences at the exact same time as others are having terrible ones - it happens in restaurants, it happens in hotels, it happens with ISPs. Wherever humans are involved, the perception of the quality of service both given and received will vary tremendously. It's just the way we are.

Of course, in hospitals it can literally be a matter of life or death, but it's still going to happen.

Just because me, you, anyone had a bad experience does not mean that the organisation providing the service is dreadful - people have bad experiences every day of the year in the very best of class service organisations that this world has to offer. Simultaneously, others will be receiving what they believe to be excellent service.

Of course, the Royal Sussex may well be completely shit, I have no idea. There are poor organisations in every field.

My only experience of the RSCH is their maternity wing - and they were superb But I guess they do the happy stuff in there so everybody's a bit cheery.

 

[bhaexpress]

One of the problems with most NHS hospitals is that a lot of beds are taken up by elderly people who have literally no where else to go. Sad but true they're not actually ill as such but at the same time they're not able to take care of themselves.

There just aren't enough suitable facilities for the infirm. I always wonder why every government seems to ignore this 'small' problem.

No i'm not, but i know that tax payers don't get a good enough deal here.

Don't have any experience of the RSCH but a few years back my youngest brother spent two months in Southlands, have to say that it was excellent, the doctors and nursing staff put him on the road to recovery and cared for him superbly.

Too much profanity, I reckon Happy will be attending John Tyndall's funeral maybe.

I will agree with that. 4 years ago my step Mum had a severe stroke and was taken to Southlands after a couple of days.
She was in there for 5 months and her rehabilitation was excellent. She recovered 98% of all her faculties - just a paralysed left hand.

If you are trying to imply i'm a racist then you can f*** off you old !!!!.

Bring back Matron,she'd sort out those duffers i saw on the telly tonight

 

[Zebedee]

Anyone else feel like whacking the smarmy Chief Executive? He didn't seem particularly caring or compassionate to me and seemed to do sod all to improve things. He seemed far too focused on the bottom line of his accounts for my liking. How depressing.

I shall be writing to our local MP tomorrow to protest in the strongest possible terms but I doubt whether it'll do any good.
