[QUOTE="PenguinMum, post: 2453985, member: 461597"] Just to add to my previous post. Today I had a monthly eye injection at my hospital which I am grateful for but the waiting room used to be about 20 or so people for day surgery, now its 4 or 5 anytime I visit. Today I got chatting with an elderly woman waiting for her husband after cataract surgery and she mentioned she had a fall on Monday and hurt her back and was in such pain they called an ambulance. There were 22 ambulances queueing and a long line of patients on foot queueing to get into A&E. after 5 hours she was triaged in the ambulance, told they had so many serious cases she would be sent home to get rest, gentle exercise and take mon prescription painkillers. They said they had stabbings, strokes, heart attacks and serious injuries. They also said most of the pedestrian patients had come because they couldn’t get to see their GP. This lady was calm and said she was a long retired nurse and had never known the NHS so broken. Yet our Government pretend its all just fine. Hardly! [/QUOTE]
