I'm sure this incident will force NHS to implement a much needed new policy.
A note scrawled by Mr Sauter and discovered by his family after his death said: 'Asked for a jug of water at 6pm and again at 8.30, told to wait for handover. Said I knocked cup of water on floor.'
From now on, all dead patients will be searched for notes left to relatives. If these notes complain about NHS treatment they will be promptly destroyed.

This is outrageous and appears to be a trend. Sad.

A nurse turned a doctor away?
Most docs I know would have kicked her stupid nursing school only butt.

The truly sad part is this is not an isolated incident. These type stories appear in the UK and Canadian press outlets daily and this type of “Post Office” health care is what our Congress just voted for.......Remember in November!

This wouldn’t bother the zero administration - probably not a rat voter, and now he wouldn’t need social security. One must think of the good of the state rather than specific people /s.....well except those in power and those who can be depended on to keep voting to keep them in power.

Just curious, but where was the man's family during this incident?
This man didn't die of thirst in a matter of a few hours.
If the family left him there, knowing how bad the attendents were, they are almost as complacent in the man's death as the nurses.
Maybe I'm unusual, but when my wife was in the hospital in this country she was not left alone by me, or my mother-in-law.

Yes, yes, but I’m sure the NHS learned a valuable lesson from this.

Just curious, but where was the man's family during this incident? Probably working two or three jobs in order to pay for the ridiculously high taxes they have support their NHS. Remember, the average European lives below what would be considered the poverty level here. Gas is over $7/gallon in most of Europe in addition to high sales taxes, VAT tax, etc.
Every time I've visited western Europe I found myself asking "How did these people allow themselves to get into a situation like this?" For someone who dearly loves freedom it is a very sad sight......

From the article...
"She had not been able to see him before because the events had happened outside of visiting hours"

Ah yes, because when it is a private company providing a service, they let your family sit by your side, as most likely the family are the ones paying the bills.
When it is a government facility, there are strict “visiting hours”, not to be excessive or exceeded.
