LOL Ealing Hospital, say no more. I spent just over two weeks on the orthopaedic ward there as it was the nearest hospital to where I broke my femur the second time. I have to say Ealing is the worst hospital I have been in. It's like a mental asylum. One of many things I did experience while there was a dementia patient that had wet themselves in the hospital gown and dragging themselves along the floor on the main corridor of the ward where the nurses station is. I told the nurses and they where too busy to do anything about it and said she's regular and they are aware and to ignore her. A fucking disgrace and that was decades ago.
Not a bad article that but I wish he told us the time of the initial accident and when he first got to the hospital. I can relate to a lot of what he says in that article. It's like doing the lottery the NHS. I have had both good and bad experiences and it very much depends on the hospital and how busy they are.
Someone made a lot of money creating that new software and database for them and it's screwed. Not only is their hardware and systems old and insecure, though they have updated Windows after getting ransomware, not that it will stop the threats but has tightened things up a little. Human error will be their weakest point and weak passwords etc written down on post-it notes stuck to a screen in the nurses station etc. I opted out of that new database for privacy and lack of trust issues when it was first created which was my right and informed my GP. I don't care if paramedics don't have all my details at the scene of an accident or A&E. They can go old school and diagnose me.
