I have come to the realisation that the older I become the more intolerant I am, I had hoped it might be the other way around.
Came out of hospital on Friday, I had been in for 4 days. I was in a four man ward. One man who was in for less than a few hours and was told to lie still and on his side asked his teenage daughter to hold a urine bottle as he peed, I called for a nurse to intervene. Another man who had a constant cough refused medication refused to lie down and sleep but sat up in a chair, constant coughing. He made no attempt to sleep but for his own reasons wanted to stay awake all night, he kept three men who needed their sleep to be awake.
Being British I was not one to say to him, 'behave yourself and stop being awkward'.
