I have read several posts recently which are very critical of hospital care.I'm not stupid and I know things are far from perfect.Not all employees are as good as they should be but I think the vast majority do the best they can.Not all,but most.In my opinion the crux of the problem is down to resources or lack of them.I do have a personal I interest as my son,daughter and daughter in law all work in the NHS.An anecdote which might provide food for thought:my daughter is in her first job as a staff nurse,she works 12.5 hour shifts and should have 3 breaks in that time.The most she has ever managed is 1,often none.There are not enough staff to physically do everything that needs to be done.The nature of the,work means that if someone becomes very ill suddenly other things have to wait,things like taking a patient to the toilet or getting them a drink for example.After 3 months she has realised that it is impossible to do the job as she would like to because she can't spread herself that thin.Relatives want the very best for their loved one,rightly so,but as things are now it's often a case of crisis management.She has to deal with relatives expectations and try to manage them.I think what I'm trying to say is that families and doctors and nurses and most people who work in the NHS are on the same side and want the best outcome for patients.How we get that ii the big question
