westie – What the hells wrong with you? You’ve posted a million comments and all of them disturb me. Judging by how many of them are the only or last comments, I’d say I was not the only one.

I never realised they had internet access in mental hospitals.

my ex-girlfriend was a arragant nurse
but when she hoiked up her uniform skirt
& pulled down those white panties & sat on my face before rushing off to work..
well, you get the picture.
I’m all heart me, that’s my problem.

Without wanting to turn this into an analysis of geriatric care in hospitals, I think its fair to say that malnutrition in the elderly is more widespread than simply those confined to hospitals. Without a shred of evidence to back it up, I reckon MOST old people are malnourished.

My gran was 93 when she passed away and I cant remember seeing her eat or drink anything other than custard cream biscuits, milky tea, Battenburg (sp?) cake, the occasional boiled potato and sprouts for the last ten years of her life (probably some meat too, but in such small quantities it barely warrants a mention).

Unless hospitals wise up and start feeding old people a diet consisting mainly of flour, fat and sugar instead of this so called ‘balanced diet’ they keep pushing, old folk are going to keep dying in their NHS beds.

Mark was clearly assisting in his mothers demise by forcing the hospital diet down her throat, when all she needed was some luke warm PG tips and a Bourbon or a slice of swiss roll.

The ‘arrogent nurse’, far from being stupid, was only too aware that the elderly are used to being left completely unattended for the vast majority of their time. The sudden change in diet and attention from family was too big a shock to the system and finished her off. The old dear could probably have fought off whatever infection she had perfectly well if she had been left asleep in front of the telly in a pool of her own piss.

I think he should have let his mum starve because that’s what the nurses wanted and it’s important to give nurses what they want, even if they are all lazy fucks who deserve nothing but our contempt.

So what was he supposed to do – let his relative starve – because you think he should have been nice to the negligent nursing staff?

and of course the stupid arrogant nurse would have been so much more inclined to treat his mother with warmth and kindness after that particular exchange.

he pretty much signed her death certificate.

From “an arrogent nurse” and “This stupid nurse quietly walked off.”. His post reeks of it. We’ve all had elderly relatives in hospital, failing to eat, getting C.Diff etc. You’d rather things were different, but most of us realise that treating the nurses like shit won’t help.

Mark does sound a bit like an arse, but he’s not ignorant or stupid – 60% of elderly patients are malnourished (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7010170.stm) and a major cause is thought to be that “no help or encouragement is given to eat and drink” (http://www.ageconcern.org.uk/AgeConcern/htbh_problem.asp).

And where do you get “hypocritical” from?

Totally. There’s something about this post that just screams “I am a terrible hypocritical arsepod”.

spEak You’re bRanes
A collection of ignorance, narcissism, stupidity, hypocrisy and bad grammar.

Well done Mark, a full house there. OK, he didn’t directly express hypocrisy but steaming buckets of effluent like this fella usually have hypocrite written through them like a stick of stinky rock.
