There seems to be "an unusually high death rate" at a British hospital.
Let's find out why, shall we-chaps?
"Unannounced visits by inspectors from the Care Quality Commission found blood spattered on curtains and chairs in the A&E ward, a catheter bag on the floor, poorly-trained nurses and patients treated on trolleys. A commode was soiled under the seat, nurses were failing to feed frail elderly people and patients had pressure sores. There was no paediatric nurse for most of the time so children were not getting the best care."
"Inspectors also found that the trust was not effectively decontaminating reusable equipment or maintaining a clean and appropriate environment in the A&E department. They found 11 out of 12 trolley mattresses were stained and two had a 'foul odour'. It says: 'Nurses we spoke to were not aware that mattresses could be opened and checked."
Are you getting the picture? America-wake up! Don't let this happen to you!
