Medical Malpractice

Why GP offices, GP’s, Hospitals and hospital stuff are so unhygienic and dirty in UK?

Recently, because of health problems I’ve been seen a lot of health specialists(waiting time to be seen by a specialist, it’s hard to believe, but is up to 8 months) and I’ve been visiting a lot of hospitals here in London, UK . I’ve been working in so many countries ,but I never seen such a unhygienic and dirty GP offices, GP’s, Hospitals and lazy and root hospital stuff in any other country? As far as I know they are getting well paid? Is UK living in the past?. This is 21 century, but not 18‘th century?. Instead of getting treatment in the hospital, so many people are getting, bacteria, infections or their condition in many cases gets worse in the hospitals and a lot of patients are a passing away before being seen by a specialist?Who is in charge? When will the health system will improve in the UK?Where are our Tax money?

1. i dont know where you live. But my GP office in Essex, is Very clean and Hygienic, so is in the main, my local Hospital at Basildon. if you think your hospital . Gp is unhygienic, then complain to them
2. That's really a shame. Hospitals and GP offices should be clean and comfortable. I don't have an answer to this question though.
3. Because the NHS is not very good with there money, when my dad went into hospital we wiped the bed down with cleaning wipes and bought our own water and lemonade for him as all you could see over the bed was dust, dirt and nasty patches of green all over it. The health system will get better when better and more awhere people are in charge of the system, there are some managers and so on that are very good at this, but they are a very select few.
4. What the hell are you going on about you illiterate j1zz bucket, your probably a foreign fecker claiming benefits - with nothing else to complain about.
5. The NHS is the last bastion of communism in Europe, it is obsessed with political correctness, multiple and complex targets and inter-professional disputes about working practices, and it boasts a hugely over-bureaucratised management system. Socialist healthcare is the worst in the world. Go to Japan and see how an excellent, nationwide, comprehensive health service is provided. No GP gatekeepers, a multitude of specialist and general clinics and surgeries(which go bust if the patients don't rate them), excellent private and public hospitals(all competing for patients), and a level of patient power undreamt of by Brits. All paid for by a national insurance scheme and a 30% payment
6. My GP's surgery is spot less, all the hospitals I have been in have been excellent and the staff have been first class, they work hard and their pay is not that good. The Health system will improve when we do not have so many people coming into the coun try and demanding treatment without having paid a penny into the system. ou say you have been working in a lot of countries have you been making g contributions to the NHS. Stop knocking our hard working doctors and nurses and get your facts straight before attacking them. Our hospitals are not behind the times with their equipment or treatment and that's why so many come from abroad to get treatment. The super bacterial bugs you mention are being dealt with and its not just this country that has the problem.
7. I don't know why. You'd think they'd make an effort. My husband was in hospital (University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff) for a throat operation for a week. I noticed a pool of blood by his bed when we arrived, it was still there when he left. The shower was leaking and the same towel was left on the floor all week to soak up the water. There were pubic hairs in the washbasin. The window sills were full of mould and dirt. I watched a male nurse come into the ward with half a dirty j-cloth and proceed to wipe down every bed trolley and cupboard in a ward of 12 beds with the same cloth without wetting it or spraying with antiseptic, wiping under urine bottles and sputum bowls. He finished off by wiping down a bed that a discharged patient had left with the same unrinsed cloth. My husband left hospital with a horrendous infection, and couldn't eat for 3 weeks, which was very worrying as he's a type I diabetic. I'm just glad it wasn't MRSA.
