Junior Doctors strike?

[Hetzer]

A&E's biggest problem is pussies. Wanking little faggit pussies who run screaming to A&E for a couple of stitches or an xray for a stubbed toe. My son has a very fetching scar in his eyebrow after falling on a tent-peg, another on his lip after falling onto the edge of a bench. The other mothers were not impressed when I ignored their frantic screams to call for an wahmbulance in the first case. Even less impressed with my clearly expressed contempt. And I've genuinely lost count of how many times I've signed myself out of hospital (last one with a broken sternum and wouldn't take a bed in the ward, caught a taxi home instead).

No, it's not 'hard' or big and clever, it's the default fucking normalcy and if more people practiced it the NHS' crisis would be less of a crisis and more of a bit of a problem.

It probably is a mother problem. A spring snapped on our trampoline and whacked young Master Borg on the bonce. Scalp wound, so blood. I told him to rub some dirt on it and walk it off, Mrs Borg threw him in the Mummy Bus and rushed to A&E because what if concussion-fracture-death.

I thought of tying her to the bed, but it wasn't a Friday.

I'd feel bad about it, but then again, I pay taxes.

Maybe it's just location, but our local A&E is mainly a drop in centre for free medical care for "tourists" or people not registered with, or prepared to wait 3 weeks to see a GP.

I think front line emergency care in the UK is spot on, but a lot of the lower end, non critical care is just a huge waste of resources.

I used the NHS after a fairly serious racing accident, involving a chest drain being fitted at the track, plus a heli-lift to the John Radcliffe, where I was in a critical care trauma unit for 5 days.

I was then transferred (by my racing club, with a medic and ambulance borrowed from MSV, not the NHS) to my local hospital. Initially I was put in a standard ward and left unattended. Once it was pointed out I had an epidural in my back and should be on a morphine drip, I was taken to intensive care.

After a couple of days, it was pretty obvious that I'd be better off recovering at home than staying in the local hospital. They planned on keeping me in for another week, which was completely unnecessary.

I then had to waste 4 X half days going back for pointless appointments with a physio, who just gave me a stronger rubber band to trap in a door at home to do exercises with. On the 4th visit I told them It was a waste of both their and my time and asked for them to give me all 3 remaining strength bands in one hit and I'd phone my GP if there was an issue. The initial plan was for me to go back another 4 times.

A great service at the pointy end, but incredibly wasteful elsewhere.

More a&e ranting... you overhear people being asked how much pain they're in on a scale of one to ten.

Ten ten ten!!!! One hundred!!!!

Bawwwwwwwwwwwwww babies. Wimps. Pussies.

Okay data protection patient confidentially would never allow it but if they had screens in the waiting room showing the rough order of the queue then those who shouldn't be there in the first place would get an idea of what a&e is actually for and why they're being left waiting for hours.

Sure, other people being more severely injured doesn't make your own injury any less painful or severe but it would open peoples eyes about what "accident and emergency" really means.

It isn't just patients who need training in what needs treatment or what doesn't, some Dr's do as well. Two incidents spring to mind in my life.

I hit a bad pothole and came off, had some pain my chest. After 10 days I was struggling to breathe so dropped into A+E at the Royal London. The head of A+E was there traing 2 junior Dr's, he asked what was up, said I suspected I had broken a few ribs, just wanted checking as if I had I would take it easy. Quick examination, he confirmed 6+ breaks, didn't bother with an xray and told me to come back if it got really bad as there was risk of lung infection and to not bother with my GP as if it got bad enough for me to come back they would probably just admit me. Two junior Dr's couldn't believe that I didn't want an xray just a check and the head of A+E didn't insist on one.

Second incident was when I shattered my left thumb. Had it strapped for 48 hours and then nothing. Went back for a check after 2 weeks and one of the Dr's had an apoplectic fit, couldn't believe I wasn't in plaster. In fact he only shut up when another Dr pointed out that I had full movement and wasn't really bothered about being in plaster. Another quick check at 6 weeks and that was it.

Some Dr's need to realise that some people genuinely need more help than others and that some need to MTFU, that some only need the minimal tempered with good sense. Some people need to realise that the NHS isn't there to rub there knee better when they bruise it and some people need to be told that they are wasting the NHS's time.

Apparently if the attending physician shares ethnicity with the patient the ailment will likely be taken more seriously,
as will any provision of relief for patient described levels of pain/discomfort.

Racist NHS is Racist.

But religious studies was fun. It was a total doss and you could almost get away with anything.

Mr Justice Green, in full possession of all the provable facts, rules: new contract is fine, quit your bawwing.

Sad times, I guess they'll all be off to New Zealand and Australia. You know, on principle.
