Patient dignity

Story from nhs.uk

"Patient dignity"

About: Queen's Hospital (Romford)

Sitting in radiotherapy waiting room with several other people, a radiographer came and and named one of the patients.

They then asked him about the success of their enemas for that day and the day before.

This was in full hearing and sight of everyone else present.

No thought at all for the patient's feelings.

I was appalled at this undignified treatment.
