"OMG" Loverly "NHS"

[Steve49]

Hi.

Good evening, well I'm in again & don't you just love the NHS.

This is my 2nd visit over the past 2 wks

Well having only stayed 1.5hrs in A+E but I spent 6/7hrs hidden out of the way.

I was eventually admitted at 12.30 last night now hidden in an old part of the hospital once closed.

The moral of my story is I had no Dc/ Meds for my Pain for 24hrs.

Well I hit the roof "Big Time"

I think that I'm back on "Planet Earth"

I'm still in this Loverly place for another night "Great"

Steve.

[Steve49]

Many thanks. I hate A&E the most as they haven't got an idea & as for Consultans "well" l have got to b done tomorrow as my ward is only Mon - Fri. I will be thrown out again!!!! Don't you just love hospitals.

Steve.

[Hidden in reply to Steve49]

hope you are feeling better today and you got some pain relief.i have been to A&E several,times -kept hanging about for hours -experienced all that you have and more.

[Steve49 in reply to Hidden]

Hi.

Yes I am back to "Normal" today. "Well may be not"

The nurses keep coming around & asking how bad my Pain is from 1 - 10.

I keep telling them that my pain is 10+ (Very Bad) they say they can't put the + on the PCs ??????

Steve.

[Steve49 in reply to Steve49]

Sorry pressed the wrong button.

I have already got my strong meds with me. They don't hav any stronger ones. Mind you I'm taking the maximum already.

Yes I had mayor stomach surgery in 2014

This has gone horribly wrong.

Hi Steve

I wear a med alert that I keep upto date with all my med changes, have created a template in Word, that contains all the current information, I then cut out and fold to fit.

Every time I go anywhere beyond our garden gate, I am wearing it. Has meds and dose rates, hospital number/consultants, GP and surgery contact details. The last time I was in hospital (8yrs ago), I made them check my records, and give me the right meds.

If you are able to, insist they check your meds with your surgery, and insist they are given. A few discreted about person and wallet, atleast means you have some comfort.

Good wishes, Hayesider

I work for the NHS we are very under staffed but we do our best. I very rarely get a break and sometimes have nothing to eat all day

[Steve49 in reply to Maisie1]

Hi.

I'm very sorry to include the staff on the "Wards"

They are "Golden"

1st class in my "Book"

I'm constantly telling them that.

Please Please except my apologies.

I hope that I haven't upset you.

Sorry

Steve

[Hidden in reply to Maisie1]

Hi Maisie 1 my husband is UCS (urgent care services) ambulance guy - the amount of times they have overruns is unbelievable - a lot of their time/ calls are to drug overdoses - drunks - people who have cut a finger - drug users and the overloads in A and E are due to a lot of these people clogging it - which makes it difficult for nursing staff and also folks like ourselves who are ILL - in fact I heard on the north west news the other day that a crew were called out to a seven year old who had difficulty breathing - they blue lighted and when they got there it was a DOG - hello - I think for these guys they should be charged for the cost of the Ambo just like the fire brigade do for stupid calls

Sorry for the rant and hope Steve is feeling better and had his pain reduced.

[Maisie1 in reply to Hidden]

I agree they should fine people

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I agree Toolie charge these stupid people who waste NHS resources

[Maisie1]

No I know what you mean it's them and us. I believe we should all work 24/7 365 days a year. It's criminal that more people die at weekends than during the week. It need a good overhaul and new contracts

[Steve49 in reply to Maisie1]

Hi Masie.

Well said that is so so true.

I have been waiting for my procedure since Tuesday.

OMG the ward shuts this afternoon!!!!!!!!

Steve.

[Maisie1]

I agree that the NHS isn't perfect far from it, but it is still better than most countries have. We have people on here who have run out of insurance they can't get treatment. A lot of the problem is that if someone out of the EU I goes to hospital they do t ask for the payment straight away so in some cases it is not paid

[Steve49 in reply to Maisie1]

Hi Massie.

Many thanks, yes you are 100% we do take it for granted. I had worked in it for 10yrs, this was the best time of my life. Unfortunatly I had to take early retirement. I was gutted at the time. Yes other countries don't have anything close to the NHS.

Thanks.

Steve.

[Maisie1 in reply to Steve49]

I think people abuse it

[Steve49 in reply to Maisie1]

Hi Massie.

Yes they do all of the time.

Sorry about earlier in the post.

I'm sill in hospital awaiting my procedure.

Things are great at the moment.

Steve.

[Maisie1]

Take care I am sure the nursing staff will look after you.

[Steve49 in reply to Maisie1]

Many thanks, yes they are all 1st class.

Steve.
