Written by a patient

It depended on who it was to whether you got treated with dignity. Men should have male nurses looking after them when not able to do anything. I did not appreciate being joked about by female nurses! Patients should be able to get washed properly with soap and water. Staff and doctors should listen to next of kin and spouses about meds and treatment that they've been having for many years especially when it was obvious that no staff new anything about my condition and what I needed! What was the problem with letting my wife help me more like cleaning and changing or whatever needed she should have not kept having to be sent out for me to be degraded and joked about by female nurses, should be male nurses with male patients. Involving families more instead of sending them out every time someone wanted to do anything when I wanted my wife there. More training on giving appropriate medication to patients with long standing life threatening conditions (as its my wife who knows more about me and what I should and should not be having). I thought the patient at least would be told what was wrong with them and what injuries I sustained but I was not told anything and had to find out after months of agony, and finding out you nearly finished me off by giving me very wrong things that have sent my bloods dangerously high which I'm still battling to right with not much help from medical professionals that keep prescribing me medications that could make my conditions worse and can also kill me.
