Brilliant new tv series called HOSPITAL on BBC2 Wednesdays at 9pm (UK).

 

It shows the real nhs in the UK and how it struggles to cope everyday with a shortage of beds. Operations cancelled, surgeons waiting around for hours because unless a bed becomes available they can't start in theatre. ICU  full. It shows the nhs on the brink of collapse. Episode one is on BBC iplayer for viewers in the UK. Well worth watching.

Hi Pulp. Too many people using A & E when they should just go to the chemist. Plus there are just not enough staff and beds. People using nhs who are not entitled to use it.

Here I've seen a sign like this one at medical services: "we remind our estimated patients it isn't necessary to come here every day". Also the resources have been drastically reduced. But things aren't so bad as far as I know (and unfortunately one of my children has a very large experience on hospitals).

Alcohol plays a large part in A & E. Drunks and druggies abuse the staff and waste their valuable time. Repeat offenders are now refused treatment in some hospitals if they have attacked staff.

Sorry to hear about one of your children Pulp, hope it all turns out ok.

It's always sunny when the police is knocking at someone's door, and return a favor with a favor was always my motto. Calling people names is also a problem, especially if it's not true, and probably I'm not the only one. No but seriously, it becomes a serious problem. But who needs a pleasant neighborhood these days.

If only I knew what you were talking about, lol.

I almost cut my thumb off with a Stanley knife once doing some flooring.  I had to go to A&E.  I looked around, it was like a war zone.  I asked the doctor why are all these people here and he reminded me there had been a Celtic V Rangers football game.

So......errr....what was the score?

If those are Scottish teams probably both of them lost.

Aye...That's Glasgow..The pits..

I might go there one day. Been to Edinburgh, that was great. Love the trams. surprise.pngwink.png

Glasgow you will find is a little more refined that our Eastern countrymen.  You can visit the art galleries and museums for free, you can have a Pimms no1 with crushed ice, lemonade and summer fruits in the Grosvenor hotel, you can go shopping to all the chic places, order Britains finest currys from award winning curry houses, an hours drive and you are on the banks of Loch Lomond or the Trossach hills or. . . . .you could go to Edinburgh and be accosted by an army of street urchins and beggars and students with tea cozy hats and pink flannel trousers in need of a good lecture on personal hygiene.  The choice is yours.

Ok, Edinburgh it is then. grin.png
