Hospital Care

It is sad that many people who I talk to have had a bitter experience of a hospital, the experience is that the word "care" has vanished in the hospital service, many patients report that some nurses just do not want to be there, it is sad if you are elderly, young nurses do not want to work with frail elderly patients, consequently we have a rise in bed sores, malnutrition and falls leading to pneumonia, and if very frail death!,
It certainly worries me as I am 66 have diabetes and heart problems, will I receive the best service that can be provided?, I think not, the cost in looking after me will cost  a great deal of money, and because of my illnesses service for me is tempered by the consultants worry of loosing me during being looked after, far better to get the GP to provide medication than take any chance with my life, sad really.
