rudeness personified

Story from nhs.uk

"rudeness personified"

About: St George's Hospital (Tooting) (London)

Upon discharge from the ward on level 2 to a ward on level 3, the nurse who was too busy faffing about in a large loud voice asked in front of other patients and nurses if I had been to the loo and if I had passed any stools......patient confidentiality gone amiss big time!! This on top of how disrespected hurt and disappointed I felt after my surgeons blatant lack of patient care or logic. What more do I need to do to get the answers I need...... is falling over with no balance lack of sight in one eye and the inability to function on a normal level because of my condition not good enough? Anyone????
