It's about time they recast Aggie. The idea that DeeDee would be going through this without her Mom is ridiculous.
I thought Todd said the other week he wanted a proper relationship not just a one night hook up. So much for that, Theo had only been in the house for 5
minutes before they were having sex.
I agree, particularly as this storyline is going to focus on racism in the NHS. Aggie was a nurse and she would have an opinion on that. On another matter, I guess this storyline was planned long before the review of the failings in maternity care. It's either good timing for the storyline with perhaps a few rewrites to include that aspect, or unfortunate timing when viewers might say: 'It's not racism in the NHS that failed Dee Dee, just generally poor training'.
Yes. The only nurse who behaved appallingly was the one who ignored Deedee feeling bad after having the baby, refusing to take her seriously, and not examining her. But there was no sign of racism, just incompetence and insensitivity.
Deedee has just had a Caesarian and a hysterectomy. She couldn't lift a teacup, never mind a heavy rucksack or a baby!
The nurses just at my GP's surgery are very dismissive, offhand, brisk and don't want to listen to patients, because there isn't time allocated for it.
I was sent home for being early and on another occasion I was told that I shouldn't have come in! Well, an appointment was made for me (whether I wanted it or not) I didn't arrange it, so why was it my fault for turning up? On both occasions, I was made to feel as if I was a pest and an inconvenience. I feel that this is widespread problem with nursing standards across the NHS. it's not just in hospitals and has nothing to with racism.
Good on Dee dee for making a legal, official complaint. I didn't bother, because if I did, it wouldn't have made any difference.
I had an emergency c section and I was still awake when they stuck the scalpel in and I yelled ...they thought they were giving me drugs but it was oxygen. Mistakes were made. I had just a c section and I couldn't lift anything for a week...I was glad to be in the hospital for the week to recover peacefully.
I had my second naturally at eight o'clock at night...discharged by ten the next morning!! 14 hours later.......off you go we need the bed
