And because of this, they decided my ward and the two adjacent ones don't need a full time nurse on duty and instead the whole floor (20+ wards) has 7 nurses to oversee all the patients.

Thanks to this fucking wonderful policy, there was no nurse to respond to the emergency call button, so I was stuck lying on the floor of the bathroom, unable to get up for a whole hour, shivering and now I have Bronchitis and am being tested for Pneumonia oh and I pissed myself because I have reduced muscle control and I'm so fucking angry and embarrassed about the whole thing. Oh and I have a massive fucking bruise on my forehead and have to have concussion tests.

Fuck the tories, we need more fucking nurses and not just for coronavirus but the fact the ward for pensioners currently doesn't have a full time nurse and they're just left to their own devices watching daytime TV most the time is utterly unacceptable.

Also hey, I have access to chapo again, I'm back to whine about my hospital stay that no one but me cares about and annoy everyone else here. I know I was greatly missed.

    Literally same staffing issues at the hospital I was recently at. The nurse call button was broken and no one took the IV out of my arm for almost like 12 hours and shit bled out badly.
