Thanks for your sup[port 2Christine. Hope the day wnet OK - very sad. Little sister??? I'm nearly 62!!!!! Going on 23! We are at the undertaker tomorrow. I have now got over the wanting to sue everyone in sight from all the nurses to the hospitla cat and the paper boy but I really would like to get a campaign going for better treatment for diabetics and elderly/demntia sufferers during their stay in hosptial. I mean WHAT exactly is the point in waking an old confused lady up at quarter to midnioght or half one or five thirty in a norning to test her blood other than just upset her. WHAT is the pount in changing all her isulin when she was foing ok or stopping it all together like they did. and to be honest, if she can't eat, what does it matter if the porridge she can manage has golden syrup flavour - at 92 its better to have that than starve to death as they let her do.

I feel like you are my little sister and I want you to know how very sorry I am to hear your sad news,especially today has we buried my mum today.
I want to send you a big hug and hope that your family and friends give you loads of support though all this.
I found it hard today, even so in another way it's been good to see our family gathered together ,mum would have been so proud.

I so agree with Ness on this, and feel so sad for your loss of your mum. I am ashamed to say I too have been a nurse in my time and do not say so as a rule, because I don't want to be associated with the way things are now.(for example , I thought I knew all about diabetes ,the NHS guide lines),rubbish.Hi,
Firstly so sorry to hear of your loss and the dreadful trauma that you and your mum experienced before she passed away.
I am a mental health nurse although I teach now rather than practice. In my day we automatically did tests for urinery tract and chest infections when someone came in with dementia. Any nurse/medic worth their salt knows, these conditions can make the symptoms of dementia much, much worse.
I know that the NHS is in dire straits at the moment, but there is no excuse for bad nursing care.
Unfortunately I've realised over the years that many people in the nursing profession have no right to be there and they need to be weeded out. I'd like to be proud of my profession, but the more I hear, the more ashamed I am.
Don't be fobbed off, everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Sadistic 'nurses' should be named and shamed as the awful examples of humanity that they are.
