Great Moments in Socialized Medicine
HOSPITAL chiefs have apologised after giving elderly patients a TAMBOURINE to call for nurses in an emergency.
The musical instrument was left in a day room after older patients feared they were too far away for nurses to hear any cries for help.
A pair of maracas were also handed out as a back-up in case the tambourine failed.
