💨 Abstract

Cheryll Rich, 38, was left in her own filth at Basildon University Hospital after breaking her back in August 2022. During a five-day stay, she claimed staff refused to clean her despite being covered in feces and menstrual blood, asking her partner to do so instead. Her catheter was unchanged for days, and her water jug was not replaced. Rich felt "dehumanized" and "stuck in hell."
