I have no idea I wasn't there to hear them...I can only take your word for that.

Re: A&E Being Misused?

Indeed and I can understand you trying to protect your profession but you have to understand even if you are best nurse in the world many fall below your standards and hospitals and GPs etc are all very different.

We have one hospital none of us will willingly go to, as going in with a broken ankle and coming out dead, going in and not being told you have cancer until it is inoperable and going in reasonably coherent and not being fed or having access to water for 5 days leaves you incoherent and vulnerable just does not seem a safe place to be.

Thats bought back a rotten memory - I was having an endoscopy, a male and female in attendance. I was horrified at the thought of this procedure and inside was turmoil, while the exam was going on, they were discussing Eastenders and I couldn't say a word, like hey could you consider me ! I'm about to pass out ! I will 'never' go through that again !

I do know that all is not perfect, and I also know that your dismissal of the health service as a whole is well documented on here.

I would never defend the indefensible.

So did you lodge an official complaint?

Re: A&E Being Misused?

Would anyone lodge an official complaint if they knew they could be back in the hands of the people they have complained about in the future ? And having lodged official complaints when a family member died I cannot discourage people enough from doing it, the stress and lies the health authority put us through was disgraceful.

My dismissal of the health services as a whole ? news for me I have nothing but praise for some areas, couldn't fault some people within it and have fund raised for one department for years.

Agree - I do tell my doctor though - who understands only too well how 'terse' consultants can be ......No - not 'all' Pats

I agree with you, some Consultants can be more than 'terse'

My apologies...I must have missed those positives, I have only seen negatives.
