Pilgrim Hospital 2022-12-29 Person 1 5 0

My 85 year old father was admitted after a fall it was discovered that he has terminal secondary liver and brain cancer. He and his fellow patients on the ward are neglected to the point of soiling the bed (they are not incontinent) just ignored by overworked and insufficient incompetent callous staff. There are a few staff that do go above and beyond picking up the slackness neglect & cruelty of others. but the majority of the staff seem to be in the wrong profession. . I would sooner commit suicide than be admitted to this hospital. It is shameful the way the sick and elderly are treated on ward 6b. They are treated worse than animals. This horrible situation is worse at night. Patients in my Dads ward were shouting for help in the night and resorted to shouting fire but were still ignored - absolutely disgraceful! I went to look for staff to help my Dad move in his bed no one was there to help. My husband and I moved my Dad ourselves. I then had the other three patients in the ward asking me for help. I felt helpless and close to tears. The Government have got a lot to answer for as have the trust that oversees this Hospital. I will be forwarding this email onto the local MP.
