Taking to many sandwiches, getting Listeria and blaming the nhs fuckers
Click to expand...
I just made roughly 250 to 300 sandwiches in my poxy job this morning along with about 70 salads,up at 5.30 to start at 6.30 for my £9 per hour thanks to the 13% rise we got last year,otherwise id still be on about £8.15 per hour ( or minimum wage,thats why they give us a big rise so we wouldn't be near the minimum wage ,wankers ),at least my nhs trust still cooks and prepares food unlike most other trusts that buy those cheap sandwiches that have caused the recent listeria problem.

Chelsea calling an ambulance for her son's swollen foot.

Troy turning up at A&E cos he's ran out of his tablets.

Ethel not able to go home because her NoK is away in Wales.

Herbert sat in an acute bed because his son doesnt like the only home that will accept him.

Belinda calling an ambulance because she has a headache.

To be fair the list is endless but I'm bored typing.
 
Saw the thing that kinda blew up on Twitter today re healthcare in Guernsey, no NHS there and you pay for A&E visits etc.
Was news to me. V glad we aren't the same

The NHS is great, has always looked after me when I need it, however as the general state of medical funding and organisation has been ripped apart and fucked up by governments, we areseeing it over worked more than abused.

My GP is a 3 week wait so if you are sick it's off to A&E out patients as 111 is shite and the excelent idea of walk in centres that new labour had, have been shut down bar two
People are not educated anymore on simple ways to cope when sick, the easy life culture we have built sees people with a sniffle go to A&E rather than look after themselves.
Add to that people are living longer and our society promotes ill health.

My GP is at least 2 months for a routine appt,we have a ring at 8am for an appointment that day,they now ask what the problem is as they are trying to get you to the right dr/nurse practioner/nurse,if it's urgent you get in to see someone,i find if you ring at lunchtime there is always some way to get in that day,GP's are seeing up to 60 patientst's a day each,i don't think you can blame most patients,most respect the system,if you ill and scared you will ge in where you can,we have a walk in centre 10 miles away and A&E is there as well,drunk tanks would lighten the system a bit,did they take off?

Haha Karen, with the greatest respect you are ignorant. I do and have worked in the NHS for nearly 16 years. I have seen and written in plenty of notes, your right it's not Ethel or Herbets fault, it's the families fault that they are abusing the NHS. Drunks are a problem but abuse of the NHS is a far far bigger problem. Half my patients are currently medically fit, they do not need to be in hospital but here they are, the family using the NHS as a free care service. The attitude and expectancy that people have regarding the NHS drives my belief that most people deserve for it to be privatised and see how they feel then. If it cost £30 quid to go to A&E Mackenzie isnt taking her son, easterly wind, to have a frigging splinter taken out of his finger. Peoples I deserve this and that will soon be put into its box. The British public are ungrateful and selfish when it comes to the NHS.

I don't think 20 in nursing makes me ignorant,there will abuse of any system but abuse is not being stuck in a bed, bed blocking through no fault of your own etc,the problems getting into see your GP is where the problem starts,i don't believe the majority have any intention of abusing the system,i believe most believe they are ill and need to see someone
