There was a story of a patient who was in a coma. The other patients in the ward claimed to see a shadowy figure hovering over the comatose patient at night. The nurses dismissed it as hallucinations at first, but then strange things started to happen in the ward, like equipment malfunctioning.
A doctor in an old hospital was doing his rounds at night. He entered an empty operating room and saw the apparition of a surgeon from the past performing an operation on a non - existent patient. The doctor was so scared that he refused to do night rounds alone in that hospital again.
There was a patient in a hospital who claimed to see ghosts in the corridors at night. The nurses thought he was just hallucinating due to his illness. But then, other patients started reporting the same thing. One night, a nurse saw a figure in a white gown floating down the hall. She was so scared that she quit her job soon after.
One patient horror story could be a case where a patient was given the wrong medication. The nurses or doctors misread the prescription, and as a result, the patient had a severe allergic reaction that could have been life - threatening. It was a terrifying experience for the patient who was there expecting to get better, not worse because of a simple mistake.
There are cases where patients have been given expired medications in hospitals. This can have serious consequences on their health. I know of a person who was hospitalized with a broken leg. The cast was put on so poorly that it caused more damage to the leg, and the patient had to undergo additional surgeries to correct it. Also, in some hospitals, the communication between different departments is so bad that patients are sent from one place to another without proper coordination, causing unnecessary stress and delay in treatment.
Well, it's hard to say for sure. Some people believe they are real because they claim to have had strange experiences in hospitals. For example, they might have seen shadowy figures or heard unexplained noises. But from a scientific point of view, there could be other explanations. It could be due to the old infrastructure of some hospitals causing strange sounds, or the stress and fatigue of the people working or staying there making them hallucinate.
One story is about the selfless nurses. They worked tirelessly in overcrowded and often under - supplied hospitals. They had to deal with a large number of wounded soldiers every day, providing basic medical care with limited resources. For example, they might use their own clothes to make bandages when supplies ran short.
Well, some Asian pregnant women might experience discrimination in hospitals. They could be treated differently just because of their race. Maybe they are given less attention or not provided with the same quality of care as others.
Another horror story could be the language barrier. If an Asian woman who doesn't speak the local language well is in a foreign hospital. She may struggle to communicate her symptoms or understand the doctor's instructions. For instance, she might not be able to tell the doctor about her special dietary needs during pregnancy or might misunderstand the dosage of medications prescribed.
One famous one is the Overlook Hotel in 'The Shining', which has a hospital - like setting and is full of spooky events. It's not exactly a traditional hospital but has that kind of desolate and haunted feel.
The most common is probably the issue of understaffing. With too few nurses and doctors, patients can't get the attention they need. It's like being in a place where no one really cares about your well - being.
