Yes that reminds me of visiting my grandmother in hospital. She couldn't move due to having a fall and then a stroke. She had fared badly from an operation which had also made her deaf although no one seemed to notice and thought she was just untalkative! Not only could she not reach the food slapped down in front of her - she was completely unable to feed or do anything for herself. If we hadn't have been there to feed her no one else would. Even more tragically, a nurse asked me to feed the lady next to her as she didn't have time to do it and I was doing such a good job!! Several others on the ward were in an immobile state and called out when their food was taken away as they were hungry. It was so upsetting. We were then given 24 hours to find her a home. Blah blah blah - f*@cking shit.
