First off I've only ever stayed in for cardiac reasons, and all my adult life it has been on the Adult Congential Heart Unit (16+) at the Brompton in London. We have our TVs, our own kitchen so we can avoid hospital food,as well as our own 'lounge' visiting hours are all day parents/partners can come and go as please. We have our own medication in our lockers and are just gently reminded to take it so nurses can mark it off on chart. Unless we are on bed rest we can go down to coffee shops etc within hospital as long as we check with nurses first. The nurses are amazing. Plus everyone is checked for MRSA prior to admission and given eradication stuff is positive. The unit should be a flagship for all wards. Admittedly some of the staff and 'luxuries' are funded by charity money.Lyndsey-Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02677800429565814919noreply@blogger.com
