Shower of sh*** the lot of them 
I know not all nurses are like this but they really were attrocious. Just like the nurse who kept a canula in my mother's hand for 4 days longer than neccessary and did not change the dressing at all. In fact it wasn't even required - it took my aunt (also a nurse but in California) to remind them that it shouldn't have been there.
Neath Port Talbot General Hospital, D ward....night shift nurses? Bloody shambles. |
Yep but some of them are pretty!
I think theres good and bad in all, there are hospitals with bad reputations and good ones. Locally the Royal Gwent has a bad reputation and Neville Hall has a much better reputation.
I remember they had a surgeon in Royal Gwent who was the subject of some real horror stories, operating and removing the wrong bits on more than one occassion.
