Grumpy in hospital with chest infection. Went to see him yesterday and for some unfathomable reason they put his sedation on hold to see how he'd be without it. They know how he'll be without it. They are the same medical team who was treating him last week. He gets delirium in hospital without sedation. So he now he has a delirium- aggressive, punching and kicking trying to climb out of the bed. So they had to give him a shot of heavy duty stuff to knock him out instead of giving him the small dose of his usual stuff in a timely manner to prevent it from happening in the first place. These people make me despair.

It's sad to say that prisoners get treated better in prison than our elderly do in nursing homes and by extension geriatric care in hospitals.

That's not a reflection on the majority of carers, they just don't have the funding/resources.... despite the fact nursing homes are not cheap.

Thanks for the moral support, guys. Much appreciated. Happy to report he's much more settled today. Currently sleeping at the moment. Nurses report thst he's been calm and co-operative today, though still confused and very sleepy (no sh1t, Shetlock! After what they put into him yesterday of course he's sleepy). Nurses are great and are also baffled why the medical team held his sedation. They really didn't need to be dealing with that yesterday.

The Emergency Department was the worse I have ever witnessed in my life on Monday. Literally hundreds of people on trollies, chairs, sitting on the floor, even standing while on IV treatment! When I left through the waiting room, there were people sitting and lying on the floor. Some people who'd obviously been seen inside the department and were having treatment dressed in hospital gowns and their underwear on drips, in a window fronted waiting room at the front of the hospital . The noise inside was unbearable. Monitors, bleeps, emergency alarms, ambulance crew's walkie talkies, people crying, screaming, roaring. Gards and security running in and out and all the noise their communication equipment brings. I'd understand if a major incident had occurred but this was an ordinary Monday in early October. It was truly horrifying and distressing to witness. It's utterly disgusting that this is our emergency care system and its appalling to expect people to work in it.
