So far while trying to sleep I have a lady watching a video full volume, nurse asks her to turn it down, patient replies there is nothing else to do!

Other patients banging the bedside cabinet everything they need a tissue or something instead of, seemingly anyway, trying to be quiet.

Myself and one lady have put earplugs and just desperately trying to get some sleep.
Just needed a rant from someone tired and in pain with a long night ahead 😴
