The one 8,476 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 My mate got flung off a first aid course at work as the guy was telling the above drug overdoses and he said let them die the instructor as to talk to him out side then told him to pack his stuff away and go but why should the NHS deal with drunks and druggies at this or any time of year its all self inflicted nobody forced them to drink or take drugs . you see it on the telly ever friday - Saturday night ambulance crews being abused by drunks or people out there head on drugs needing a police escort to do there job that's no what the NHS is about but then its certainly no for foreigners flying in getting treatment and going home leaving us to pay the bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Everything's OK, guys ! Jeremy Hunt (or something that sounds like it) says there is no crisis, and that his department has put a "contingency plan" in place to cope with winter pressures on the NHS.......... It's obviously a contingency plan that involves rationing treatments, cancelling operations and running an understaffed and underfunded service, for yet another year ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 If it's kids involved then they can be excused for being a bit to cautious, but if you're an adult then only call an ambulance or go to casualty if you are in severe pain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,476 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 At work we call a ambulance now and again but they have a set list of questions on the computer and you must answer these before they dispatch a ambulance and even then they priotice the calls and you can wait hours on one some times we bung the patient in a taxi with a mate to watch them till they get to the hospital 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 46,786 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 The NHS gets £126 BILLION a year of your money........and it’s by and large shit ! Its shit in no small part due to the left wing pricks who maintain that being mediocre at your job demands a job and a wage and every workers right known to man instead of the f***ing sack. No matter how much money you chuck at it, it will never be right.....it can’t be. £126 BiLLION quid and we can’t train our own doctors?.......you have to put up with some f***ing African who can’t speak English and folks who can’t be bothered because they have bought Lock, stock and barrel into the negative “feel sorry for yourself” bullshit ! 4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,786 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 People go to A&E for pathetic reasons because they can !........and there’s a strong case to say they are paying through the nose for it so why shouldn’t they? The fact that we have let society degrade to a point that A&E is full up with utter scumbags drunk or drugged out of their head, aliens who don’t give a f**k about us and are making full use of a free service and myriad other detritus is entirely our generations fault. We have got sold the pup of “you can’t be offensive and you have to tolerate everything” and now we actually beleive that lie. The NHS has also become a law unto itself that every politicians is shit scared to touch.......nope, just throw more money at it and hope it gets better !.......Brilliant ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Here's an idea. When you call out an ambulance the bill is £1000 for the call out fee. When you're assessed by a medical professional and they deem the call out a necessary use of resources they waive the £1000 call out fee. If not you pay the f*ck*ng bill! That'll cut down joke call outs in minutes. Phone an ambulance/fire engine for a hoax? Congratulations we've just traced your phone number and we're billing the account for the call out fee. All you need now is a public sector that isn't going to sp*nk your money away................................. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
