She explained: “So I’m in Andai, I had a very high temperature yesterday and the temperature rose several times. I didn’t want to go to Andai in hot weather so my body has suffered damage today. As a result, I came to Andai early this morning and I just want to say thank you to the NHS and everyone in the Anand department. It’s not easy to come here when we have cancer because so many people suffer from – I’m not ignoring it – little things, and some “Drank too much.”

She then expressed her gratitude to the staff who managed to secure a private room for her, while also expressing her irritation that the air conditioning had broken down during the heatwave and that traders were working nearby without face coverings.
She added: “Anyway, thank you to the NHS and all the staff. They’ve been amazing, and they’ve been able to keep me in an isolated room for now. It’s really important to try to protect us.”
She added: “But I just wanted to bring up a few things – the air conditioner isn’t working in this hospital, and we had people working outside my door and there was a guy trying to do some work and when the nurse asked if she could close the door, he was really rude to her. Really rude to her. And then the nurse had to leave and it took her 15 minutes to come back.”
She explained: “He felt like he had some work to do, and he put his work bag on the trash can, which left my door open. I also usually wear a mask, but no one else around me has a mask.
“Then I had three people come in…the nurse said the air conditioner wasn’t working and she said it was. Three people just came in, no masks, no nothing. It wasn’t working – she was right and finally they left and she asked if it was okay if they came back. I said ‘With masks on!'”
