Title: Ambulance Service more bullshit.
Post by: Rangie on 20 December 2022, 18:26:54
Ambulance service spokesman " staff are sitting in their vehicles outside casualty for a 12 hour shift" when I was in the LAS a busy eight hour shift was 4 or 5 "shouts" and you may not turn a wheel on the odd shift, so sitting in a vehicle unable to do anything is money for "old rope" in my opinion. No sympathy from me they're simply jumping on the bandwagon.

If one person dies as a result, the Union should be charged with corporate manslaughter or similar.

It is time the UK had a look at how other countries in Europe operate their health services.

Indeed, but its the National religion you see. Mustnt ask questions or think of changing anything.
We get told its either what we have or what the U.S. has, which apparently means you get left to die on the street if you arent rich.
Imo, its an impossibly expensive experiment that hasnt worked, and never will.

I had a minor but very bloody accident in a small rural town in the former East Germany about 20 years ago.

Not only did this small town have a hospital, but it had an A&E as well!  :o

I was with a Dr within 15 minutes and was limping out all patched up, armed with a bag of clean dressings and painkillers about an hour later!  :y

If that happened in a small rural town here....  ::)

Same here in Spain. I have been to A and E in our local town ( 20,000 inhabitants ) quite a few times with family or friends. Every time slick process.

I think its well known that the NHS is broken beyond repair, and has been for decades.

It needs to close down completely.  Weather or not it reopens as a slicker, more modern, more efficient organisation is a future political decision.

Not that it will ever happen, because the NHS is treated as a British national treasure, and any hint of closing would be a vote loser.

Let them have whatever money they want under one proviso .............

Every penny comes out of the excising budget.
Then we might see some changes to the management structure and get rid of some of these joke jobs that are invented just to keep the PC / woke brigade happy.

The biggest I issue I keep experiencing is with the consultants!

Many seem to lack the basics, prioritise thier private appointments, could not organise a piss up in a brewery, and have to much control!

Similar experiences here. They blame everyone else though.  ::)
