Not a competition but; my dad was discharged at 11.30 am yesterday and told he could go home now; he only had PJ's with him cuz he was rushed in and had no money and they initally told him to make his own way home
he is 84 and cannot walk
after some rather gross words they conceeded and said they get amulance care car to take him home
he arrived home at 7.15pm last night and only lives 5 miles from hospital
oh and after all this time at least they fed him
Grrrrrrrrr  |

Its easy to knock the NHS, the majority of staff work very hard under a lot of pressure from the trusts who make them jump through hoops, filling in stupid forms when they need to be with patients etc....Fence sitting for fear of a lawsuit as the trust states a, b, c.....granted there are some real doozies of medical staff, but in the majority i think they do a thankless task, where would we be without them?  |

Some nurses are good, some are bad, those that really care really do make a difference. When they are'nt bogged down by reams of paperwork 'necessary' to cover the Hospitals financial back that is...

I have a different view: I woke up, my eight week son didn't. He was still warm so I started cpr whilst screaming for my husband to call the ambulance.
It seemed a minute before the ambulance arrived, sirens blaring. They took over and got my son's heart beating. We scooped up our girls, put our dressing gowns on and followed in the car.
I knew he was brain dead, but they tried for 12 hours before suggesting turning his life support off.
A couple months ago my 24 year old had chest pains and difficulty breathing. Within three minutes a rapid response car was at the door, followed soon after by the ambulance.
They took her to hospital, she had pneumonia. I have experienced good and bad with the NHS, but mainly good. |

As with all things you will find the odd tosser or the person having a bad day all over the place... the NHS is no different.
I have met the good, the bad and the fucking useless within the NHS. But I do know if left to their own devices the vast majority would do a brilliant job. But they are not left to their own devices and it saddens me to say that when it comes to the care of members of my family…. I’d sooner dig deep into my pockets and pay for it.

Manager of A n E? Hospital Co ordinator? So what made you feel that you were keeping them from doing their job?
People turn up at A n E for for an array of ailments that can be treated by a GP or a walk in centre if they could be arsed to go, people who require urgent medical help often get seen as quickly as possible. |

We have found good and bad with NHS, on one occasion whilst visiting my father in hospital I was taken into a side room and told my father had terminal cancer and they didnt think there was anything they could do,we decided not to tell my father at this stage nor my mother. they dicharged him, but few weeks later he had an appointment to see consultant, whilst my father went on in to see him i quickly spoke to a nurse regarding the cancer,only to be told she didnt know what I was talking about, your father dosn't have cancer, he's had a nasty water infection..........however our daughter who has a rare condition was treated at gosh since birth right up until she was 18yrs old and they were fantastic with me and her.... so good and bad in all walks of life!!!   |

I trust the paramedics had done his observations and deemed him not to be a priority case then.
It can be difficult as to you he was a priority case as he is your father, to them he was obviously someone who could wait. |

Well from my understanding they deal with the most urgent cases first. What did they eventually find wrong with him, has he a pre existing problem and is he still in hospital? Sorry reading this at best its all rather confusing at worse its incomprehensible.  |

So what were the symptoms, was it not deemed serious, if they made him wait 9 hours why the ambulance and what grounds have they kept him in for, is it age related a fall or some pre existing condition?
I know staff are busy in hospitals are busy but they do treat serious conditions promptly so why did he have to wait? |

The NHS has gone downhill a lot over the year, I know I worked for it for 18 years. I admit I was only a pen pusher but at least I dealt with patients. I got so delusional with the way it was being run by countless faceless Managers who wouldn't know what a patient was if it hit them in the face that I left. I still have a lot of respect for the service as we all should as the clinical staff do such a great job with the staff at their disposal but the red tape and managers just hammer them into the ground. Its such a shame its got that way and cutting millions of budgets will just make it worse I'm afraid. What the government needs to do is cut bureaucracy and get rid of all the useless pen pushing managers on monstorous salaries. |

So has he been abroad? Has he eaten anything dodgy? Why the ambulance, was it for the fall? How old is he? Sorry its all a little confusing reading it as a lot doesn't make sense as I am reading it. Maybe I shouldn't have started reading in the first place and kept my morning che.  |

I read it as....her dad was ill, the A&E was busy and full up ....her dad might have had an infectious illness so they kept him in the amubulance until they could find a side ward for him.
I also read it as Jo saying that they felt guilty as the ambulance could have doing other jobs.

I can't praise the staff enough whenever I've been in hospital, from the orderlies up everyone has treated me so very well and I'm still here to tell the tale.
However on one occasion when my GP visited me at home and phoned for an ambulance it took them two hours to get to me, from a station only ten minutes drive away.
Apparently one ambulance broke down on its way to me and they waited till the next shift started before sending out another.
Once they arrived I was rather surprised that the ambulance crew asked if they could take my own electronic thermometer into the back with us as they didn't carry one, just the old fashioned mercury one and my electronic one was giving us a more accurate reading.
I wish that more money was spent on the 'frontline troops' as it were, than on the administrative money management upper echelon each hospital seems to be top heavy with now.

I agree totally, its usually the frontline staff that take the brunt of peoples frustrations, and they have little recourse to help, as a staff member it can be very frustrating as often there is little they can do. |

"Not a competition but; my dad was discharged at 11.30 am yesterday and told he could go home now; he only had PJ's with him cuz he was rushed in and had no money and they initally told him to make his own way home
he is 84 and cannot walk
after some rather gross words they conceeded and said they get ambulances care car to take him home
he arrived home at 7.15pm last night and only lives 5 miles from hospital
oh and after all this time at least they fed him
Grrrrrrrrr my god how could thay do that and not make sure he was safe and others around to help. I would have gone mad .. I was thinking sitting in Ambulance out side hospital .. we was keeping them from doing there job , .. Felt bad but could not do a thing until there was a bed in AE for dad.Question to you Jo....What would you have done if they hadnt made you wait a few hours and they had said...sorry, no room? Had a ;person who help run hospital come say sorry to me and mum and dad ... i know hard with cut backs and staff had been really nice too.Manager of A n E? Hospital Co ordinator? So what made you feel that you were keeping them from doing their job?
People turn up at A n E for for an array of ailments that can be treated by a GP or a walk in centre if they could be arsed to go, people who require urgent medical help often get seen as quickly as possible. We was sitting in the Ambulance out side AE as never had a space a bed and i felt if they had of given him a seat or something thy could have got back to there job as said lots of calls was coming in that day .. we was not only ones sitting in ambulance out side was 7 ambulances at one time.I trust the paramedics had done his observations and deemed him not to be a priority case then.
It can be difficult as to you he was a priority case as he is your father, to them he was obviously someone who could wait. no he had to be isolated thay said and no side room. As thay was not sure what was wrong ,Well now im totally confused He was being sick and pooing and just cant go into normal part of Hospital.Thy had to make sure not a risk to others they said . He fell over and they was thinking cracked his hip but all this other stuff started too.
So has he been abroad? Has he eaten anything dodgy? Why the ambulance, was it for the fall? How old is he? Sorry its all a little confusing reading it as a lot doesn't make sense as I am reading it. Maybe I shouldn't have started reading in the first place and kept my morning che. "
my dad has heart and a stroke 5 years ago and cant get around well .. and fall from his seat on his hip .. we was thinking go for x-ray and then all the other things started him being sick and stuff and breathing erratic .. I think they was thinking keep him in ambulance as safes place until they had room. Thy had him on drips and oxygen there. |

Ah now that makes lot more sense. They kept him stable in the ambulance waited for an x-ray I presume, did tests and found him a bed after deciding to admit him. 9 hours isn't fast but to do all that it would be unfair to expect it done in less than half a day even in the private sector.
Cutbacks don't speed things up but they seem to have done a decent job in my book reading back. I hope he recovers well and is out soon. |

They treated the ambulance as a mobile isolation room with quick response staff.on hand in case he suddenly took a turn for the worse bearing in mind his pre-existing health issues.
Yes it took an ambulance and team off the roads, but they were treating a current patient who they felt had a genuine need.
They are highly trained people who are.let down by the constant erosion of the NHS and they made the call which they felt was right for your dad.
I know a lot of good NHS staff and they all treat each case in isolation and focus totally on that patient until the patient moves on. The poor medical staff don't have that focus and pass the time with patients till it's hometime. |

Sorry your dad went through this Jo hope he recovers well and soon. As for the other comments moaning about NHS staff etc, please bear in mind you have no idea what there morning has been like!!!! I was shouted at last year by a chap clearly had a few too many and showing off to his mates. He was made to wait 2 hours in the waiting area while we fought to save the life of a child. As the guy came into the area Drs check them out he saw the little person asked the dr was the child ok! The dr replied 'while you were shouting at my staff for waiting 2 hours with a sore hand we were trying to save the child's life and unfortunately after 5 hours we couldn't so please apologise to my staff as you have no idea what they have done today'. And the lad came and found me to say sorry. My point is you may think oh I got a grumpy nurse or think the nurse is crap but you have no idea what she has done that day. |
