In the old days ..

When you had an operation you were kept in hospital for a week , convalescing , sorting out your pain relief , eating grapes !! thus ensuring that you went home rested and knowledgeable on your condition, nowadays your whacked into surgery the deed is done, you are then forced up out of bed and pushed to tick the boxes and sent home with a bag of medication, thus resulting in two bewildered parents who cant get reu to swallow(even his own spit) medication and food, he is awake all night screaming in pain and we are not parents any more but the husks of parents !!We ring the ward , they say ,your doing all the right things but if he is too ill its a matter for A and E we cease to be their problem, they have done their job !! Mad !!
