In a large hospital in North London, I have been told that if I want to have a wash I should tell the staff. Then they will bring me some water
After 5 days I have only been washed once but I didn’t realize I have to ask for it even though I have a broken wrist not yet in permanent plaster.
I’m not sure if this is actually true because when the physiotherapist came they asked me how I got washed and I said I don’t know what the normal procedure is but I’ve only got washed once since I came here.
I think the person I was speaking to may have been gaslighting at me but I will be interested to know if anybody else have the same experience.
I have also got a throat infection so I would have thought to protect other people I should be clean and the sheets are not changing regularly. I was very impressed at first but there’s something wrong. No wonder covid is spreading
How my heart sings 
When I was in hospital, I was washed daily and the bed sheets were changed daily. Maybe it depends where you are, which hospital and the staff.
It is not true it is the defensive maneuver again to blaming the victim
That was my experience.
