Hope your mother is OK, Greg.
She's still in there, but not doing too bad. Her condition is '
stable'.
As predicted, though, the lifts were full and nobody was wearing a mask.
And they've painted new yellow lines around the hospital entrance with large lettering saying
"No Smoking in this Area" and the area is full of people in wheelchairs with drips in their arms ... smoking.
If a patient is smoking on the hospital grounds, I think they should lose their bed.
Give them their discharge papers and send them on their way.
Was there again this afternoon. Slight correction.
It actually says
" No Smoking Zone", and it's full of people in wheelchairs - many of them amputees - with a drip in their arm and a cigarette in their mouth.
They should not be allowed back inside.
It's an insult to all the hardworking staff in the hospital.
The lifts were absolutely packed - you had to suck your gut in and stand on tip toes in order to let everyone fit in.
I've never seen the lifts that crowded, and not a single person was wearing a mask (except me).
The nurse looking after my mother told me many of her colleagues had COVID and that the geriatric ward had about 6 patients currently with COVID.
I'm just hoping my mother doesn't catch it again.
