Go into hospital, some people are catheterised so that we don't have your help to go to the loo in your bed rather than you walk to the toilet, just put it in plain English, at which point they use expressions like deconditioning.
So we admit people into hospital.
because your body stops functioning as well.
You then don't get them out of bed because it's not a medical need for them to get out of bed.
So we then end up having to discharge people either into their own home where they can no longer walk to the toilet or into care homes.
