This wasn't the A&E department where i would expect this kind of wait. The nurse was telling him this was due to the doctor being called to an emergency appointment for a 12 week old baby at 5.30. Thats all well and good, however as he pointed out what about the 5 hours previous that he had been sat and ignored? It really was a shambles.

I stayed until half 9 and still no sign of a bed, which eventually came at 1am. No beds apparently. That old chestnut.

And then on my bus home someone was sick. Lovely.

Thats Leeds for you. An absolute shithole i would be more than happy to see the back of.

Gl;ad she is ok.

I think all hospitals struggle bed wise and staff wise. The hospitals I have been to always appear to be in chaos and I have only ever had bad experiences, except for when Junior was born. Although i am told we got extra special treatment as the head of the maternity unit is my boss's wife.

I am not saying in any way that hospitals are shit as I can appreciate they take some running and the jobs that the people do are vital.

I think it's just more frustrating when you are in the midst of it all. Some hopsitals fair better than others, i know when my ex was ill they were absolutely amazing, couldn't have done anything more for her so there are definitely some good ones about. It can't be easy to manage such a vast place but there should be something in place so that every department is being looked after by someone at all times.

It's got a lot to do with cycles and timing too.

A hospital can be great one day and dire the next. Because of the way resources (human and otherwise) flex and bend.

Globally we are still very lucky people. Very.

You can get them on the public register SON. That's the frightening thing. Companies don't even need to hide it.
