You're not the only one to notice the stink of the wards! All appear to smell the same!
I remember the mingled smell of toast and bed-pans in the mornings!!!
It's worth remembering that the average length of in-patient hospital stays has come down from 45 days in 1948 to about 2 days now so there is not a lot of time to clean up between patients! I don't envy our nursing friends their jobs.
I once read of someone in the USA having a cochlear implant operation and paying $115,000 dollars for three nights stay alone ( not including the operation and bits and pieces either!! ) What do our American friends do, burn the furniture in between patients???
