TV doctor complains about hospital treatment

A TELEVISION doctor has expressed serious concerns about the bedside manner of staff at a major Scottish hospital, who treated his grandmother over Christmas.

Dr James Logan, who appears on Channel Four show Embarrassing Bodies, said staff at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary were extremely rude to his family and should be ashamed of the service they provide.

In a series of postings on Twitter, Dr Logan, who is a tropical disease specialist on the show, said he was shocked by the lack of communication between staff in the stroke unit.
