NHS TO BE NO MORE

[nursejudy]

there are lots of nurses who care and are what i would call old school... a lot of us are out in The Community ...we escaped many years ago from hospitals.... its over thirty years since i worked in hospital!!!!

 

...black stockings ,starching and ironing your frilly cap at 6am.... the aprons were great and being proud to wear your silver buckle and belt when you qualified...

 

it went down hill when they changed to paper nurses caps.... i managed to hang on to my last frilly one for a few years then went to work with some mental health patients and it got snatched off my head and eaten by a patient.....it had had a lot of spray starch on it that morning.... oh well....

Well it had to happen the coalition have bottled it because simply they got it wrong and they know it .

Indeed, you could use that argument for the road fund licence. If that was the case the m25 would be a fourteen lane super highway and the blackwall crossing would have six tunnels.

 

Use it again with the amount of fines collected off the scroates (me included) who have been caught speeding with the excellent safty camera partneships system and we would have the best supermax prisons in the world.

 

 

and what happend to the ni money because labour used this method to improve the nhs.

Good Evening Sir Barry,

 

Funnily enough Barry I often thought you might be 'a scrote'. Nice of you to admit it though.

Perhaps we could take turns at being Supreme But Largely Benevolent Dictator?

A lot of people would "disappear" on my watch.

Well that must please you.

Let's keep the NHS as it is. Overfunded, overmanaged, disorganised and offering poor service to its patients. That sounds like a great idea

[barry luxton]

Dear oh dear, if only you read the content of your link, within it, it makes powerful argument to change what has gone on with regards to the last admin, here is just a snippit. Want more? The mirror reporting sence? Comment on the management trusts that are so far detached from the clinitions, what about the hospitals that have been built on the never never never never because our recourses have been gulped up into the black hole of administaration and managers 'r' us.

 

 

quote:

 

I think NuLabour played fast and loose with the NHS, pouring money in but getting little back for it except hordes of “managers”, but fewer nurses beside beds.

 

That is no reason for my friends to follow Blair’s bad example. We need to listen and persuade, especially those who treat patients, that we have got it right, or to change it where we cannot.

To be honest Paul I couldn't care less who wins what at which election. The country is ruled by Civil Servants anyway so the whole idea of democracy is a sham.

What I am concerned about is the state of the NHS. It cannot continue as it is.

My 84 year old father in law is in hospital at the moment, with a broken hip. He had surgery one week ago today. Since then he has had some medical complications that have kept him pretty much in bed.

 

In one week he has not had a bed bath

(When I was a charge nurse any patient who could not get up to the bathroom had a bed bath every day. Basic Nursing Care)

 

In one week he has not had his pressure areas checked.

(Our patients had their pressure areas checked and treated every 4-6 hours)

 

In one week he has been to the toilet once.

(He has been on Morphine which has the side effect of causing severe constipation. Did anybody think to check? )

 

I had to telephone the ward from France to tell them that his leg was swollen because they hadn't noticed.

(He has been on anti-coagulant therapy for years so is more likely to bleed. His leg was swollen because he was bleeding. After I told them they did a blood test and found that he was seriously anaemic due to blood loss, to the point where he received two pints of blood by transfusion. Did anyone wonder if a patient on anti-coagulants might have a bleeding problem? Obviously not. Had he had any nursing care at all they would have noticed his swollen leg. Who knows, maybe someone might have wondered why )

 

Now you may say that this is just down to that particular ward / hospital. Well having been on the receiving end of NHS care myself in the last few years I can tell you that it is pretty typical of the third world health care currently being delivered by the most costly health care system in the world. (By the way, the hospital in question has just had a 150 million pound upgrade and is not currently short of staff, in any dept.)

It doesn't need trimming it needs a drastic overhaul.

Now you can score points playing your party politics but in the meantime your precious NHS is going rapidly down the pan.

I don't care who fixes it, NuLab had plenty of time to try but failed miserably and left it much worse that when they took it over.

Whoever does something they need to do it soon.
