My mother-in-law was in hospital, terminally ill and immobile, with only
about a week to live. She was shoved on a three bedded ward with a broken
TV and no phone and basically left to brood. We suggested us buying a brand
new TV, but they insisted that it would have to be tested and that would
take at least a week!
A friend was in hospital for a couple of weeks and stuck in a ward with
5 other people with only a broken TV that wouldn't tune to anything for
more than 2 mins.
I took in the kids little DVD player that they use in the car and a scart
adaptor and a Fawlty Towers box set.
Apparantly they were told to turn it off and unplug it as it hadn't been
tested. 6 very bored, ill patients quickly suggested otherwise (using
just a couple of choice words apparantly) and it was left alone and not
mentioned for the rest of his stay
Good on em .. power to the people! [1]
All the best ..
