Still reeling from the recent panorama about the care home,today on the news is the story of the mentally ill/alcoholic who was left to die in a hospital corridor after being refused help and being dragged out of the way by staff.
I have worked in the caring sector all my life, RMN on busy accute ward and in residential childcare for 12 yrs and i completely understand the stress and frustrations of difficult and demanding clients but I never stopped seeing clients as people who are much less fortunate than me and trying to make a difference albeit a small one to their lives. I am not perfect or a do gooder and frequently leave work fuming and have agood rant, had my car damaged or been assaulted but i choose that job and im paid to do it. Its very worrying as we may all one day need care of some sort.
