I've had the misfortune to sustain significant injuries as a result of a fall. Along with some additional complications I have required ongoing care both as an inpatient and as an outpatient. What that does mean is that I have been visiting the hospital at various time of the day and night.
What I find frustrating beyond belief is the parking - or lack thereof. My wife has had to drive around the hospital car park numerous times trying to find a park. This is bad enough. However, it is made extremely frustrating to drive past staff parking in the visitors' bays. I know this because they use ANF sun visors on their cars or I have witnessed them parking their cars or retrieving their cars at the end of their shifts.
Not just nurses - they are just easier to spot. Cleaners/orderlies and others don't seem to suffer guilt by parking in the visitors' bays. I'm getting more mobile as the time goes by but I watch a fair few elderly people have to park a fair distance from the entrance after dropping off their family for care and hobble on over to the hospital.
Staff parking may be a problem but it shouldn't be my problem.
