Ward 401

Not a very enticing name for a medical documentary about life on the geriatric wards. We have plenty of programs dealing with sick kids who people can very easy feel sorry for and go "oh, isn't she sweet," or "what a brave little soldier he is," etc etc.

How about a program about life on the stroke unit or the geriatric ward?

 (SHIT! I MEAN HEALTH CARE OF THE ELDERLY WARD - WHAT? THATS POLITICALLY INCORRECT TO NOW? SORRY - HEALTH CARE OF THE OLDER PERSON WARD).

Ahh, I see. Talking about Mrs Jones who has dementia, cant wipe her own bottom and has come in because she has had a fall doesn't make very good television.
