Nightmare in Ward 8

Story from nhs.uk

"Nightmare in Ward 8"

About: Manchester Royal Infirmary

I am extremely upset, stress and depress of the way the nursing staff in Ward 8 HPB Hepatobiliary had acted upon my after surgery care. Almost all the nursing staff on this Ward are agitated, perturbed, distressed, unsettled and anxious. In this regards is it possible that you can close this Ward for good! But in fairness to the hospital specialist doctors are all highly qualified and excellent in their job!
