"One of the midwives I had was ..."

About: Queen Charlotte's Hospital

What I liked

One of the midwives I had was clean and respectful.

The SHO Senior House Officer was very efficient.

What could be improved

I had an internal virginal examination by a midwife who had false nails. Fake nails surely should be banned on midwifes for obvious reasons, even with gloves they are a source of infection.

They should be banned on all medical staff in hospitals.
