About: Graylands Hospital

(as the patient),

There is a female nurse who keeps touching me when she comes into my room to wake me up. She comes in by herself. I have complained before and she's still doing it. One time she put her hand on my shoulder and said I need a good smack on the bottom. 

I don't think female nurses should be coming into male wards. I told one of the doctors that I don't like it, but it still keeps happening.
