Great to hear of Weaver’s experience.
But I have to say, in my own recent experience, such nurses are the exception. I went through a few operations and hospital stays, circa 2005/2010, and most (not all, but most) of NHS hospital nurses were largely incompetent, uncaring, unsympathetic, clock-watchers.
NHS nursing agency staff were similar, only distinction being that they spoke very little english, and understood even less english. An elderly gentleman in the next bed was on one occasion reduced to screaming for help, when a non English-speaker clumsily removed a dressing, having failed to understand when he explained how painful it was. He was immediately publicly reprimanded by the ‘native’ UK nurses, for having been rude to one of their number.
