[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2246552, member: 345386"] I was talking to someone today who had just had a relative taken to hospital. This wasn't a COVID issue. It was for another health condition. The reality of the current [I]situation [/I]is that when some is admitted to hospital, and are taken by ambulance, that is a journey they do alone. Their relatives or carers are not allowed to travel with them, and nor are they allowed or welcome at the hospital, to minimise the potential number of infected people milling around. The absolute heartbreak, thankfully, to me heard anecdotally, is of relatives driving to the hospital where their loved on has been taken, and parking up in the carpark; just to be closer. Sitting in a hospital carpark whilst your loved one fights for their life a few metres away must be a nightmare. In those scenario, I can't see DrBloggs taking time to read and consider a protocol they've never seen before I can see them following it as being even less likely. Can you imagine the headlines if the patient passed away? "75 year old man/woman taken to hospital with COVID-19, where doctors did not follow NHS guidelines" [/QUOTE]
