It feels like this ward is the dumping ward of the hospital. Never really saw any nursing staff, just a wonderful healthcare assistant. Again never saw the same doctor twice and each one changed their diagnosis. When my daughter questioned diagnosis and treatment she was told she was being aggressive (seems you cannot ask about or question decision). Visitors told their allocated visiting slot to avoid covid, yet, patients who are able, get into lift and meet family/friends in the Costa coffee shop. I almost had tests for the patient who had been discharged from my bed. I was admitted with pneumonia, still trying to work out why I had tests for gall stones and got diagnosed with an overactive bladder? (which I dont have). Discharged after 2 days as fit with some antibiotics.
