I changed the title because the original one may be upsetting for some. I hope these families at least get the apologies they deserve.

After everything I've read on here and in the press, I would never, ever leave a loved one alone in hospital for any extended time, especially if they were critically ill. And I would expect to be the one feeding them, changing them, bathing them and administering medication. I don't know what can be done about the NHS, but it surely isn't delivering what it should in terms of care. I don't like what the Tories are doing to it, but this "everything free for everyone, all the time" system, as lovely as the ideal is, just isn't working.

It's horrible. And in Bristol, FFS, where you'd think they'd be a bit more fecking careful after the huge scandal of all those children killed by incompetent surgeons at the Royal Infirmary.
