I accept that this hospital has abundant resources and knowledgeable doctors. Yet the unsettling truth is that the place is not amenable to patient recovery. The standard of nursing is unenviable-particularly amongst the aging ones ,many of whom are gruff,insulting ,impatient and generally uncaring. They grovel to the doctors and are surly to the patients. On too many occasions , a request for assistance is met with reluctance . Worse, they set a bad example to the younger staff. Many nurses find patient screams when an injection is given to be quite hilarious. Lack of trust between patients and nurses abounds. They think that it is acceptable to continually GOSSIP about patients so that when a shift is over ,the next set of nurses ALREADY have pre-conceived views of patients . When a patient reacts with ill-concealed indignation to verbal abuse from nurses they react by backing each other up,denying their abuse and saying that patients actually abused them. I was there for a fortnight from late March 2021 to early April 2021 and literally and actively disliked many of them.
