I know there are a few NHS employees on here ( Graham & Claire ! ) but I have relatively little to do with the NHS usually.
My wife was admitted to hospital on Sunday at 8.30am via A&E ( phoned the emergency Doctor who phoned the Dr on call who told me to 'phone the emergency Dr[
] - thanks for your help, mate, but I did and thats why I'm talking to you).
After 3 hours on A&E, she gets put on a drip for dehydration - the "service" is a bit slow but hey ho - I've got nothing better to do.
Then, we get transferred to the Maternity Ward - talk about hopeless [
] - i started off thinking it was due to staff shortages but they really seem soooooo slooooooooow. When Natalie's drip ran out, it took a minimum of 1 hour to change it. Sickness ? Oh, OK - i'll get you a sickness tablet. 3 bloody hours each time !!! Want to watch TV ? £3 please. Pay it and the TV ( above bed LCD job ) doesn't work as it has no power to it ). Complain - "nothing to do with us, its an outside company" - really getting on my wick now.
No Obs done for a day. Scan to see how baby is doing ? " Sometime tomorrow we hope " - SHE'S BEEN IN 3 F'ING DAYS ALREADY!!!!!
What a bag of plop.I know they are short-staffed but our local Hospital don't give a monkeys - I even heard a nurse saying yesterday, when escorting a lady in last stages of labour" sorry about the wheelchair - its crap. What else can I say ? There's only so many times I can apologise for the crap equipment that I'm left to work with!"
Tonight I have given Natalie a shower there. Jeeeeees - if she's didn't go in with a bug, she'll come out with one - she was desperate but I wouldn't have bathed a dog in that
Gripe over ( sorry have had a crappy 3 days [:$] )
