The NHS

The NHS. I swing between how great they've been, to have one word or small action by an individual can tear all that down. What strikes me most is the vulnerability of the patient. How they rely on the kindness, patience and vigilance of the nurses on duty. Of information being passed on and acted on. It's scary on many levels, and one of those levels is unsure whether to insist on something being done and then leaving your loved one vulnerable to retribution, which in its lightest form, is neglect. The lightest form. Not sleeping now, worrying about my mother. Going to phone this morning and hopefully sound rational.
