Xela Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Noticed a long scratch along the passenger side of my car... not sure how long its been there but wager it was done in the supermarket at the weekend as I rarely drive it out. Naturally, it has pissed me off. Its not a mega expensive new car but i look after it and its in mint condition for the age of it. Just makes me want to get an old nail like a rusty old Micra and Corolla so I don't need to care about it. rocket polishers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Been in QE A&E since 4:20 this morning after waking up at 3:30 with a mouth full of blood and coughed up some bloody phlegm. Now I’ve had a quarter of a day to think about it while waking up slowly after a few hours I think I’ve probs got myself a chest infection. However, my time here has shown me how bad things are for my employer. I’ve sat for an hour and then I’ve had my obs taken, sat down again and waited another hour then had a blood test and then I’ve been sat here for 2 and a bit hours now just watching people come and go. Reception staff are unhelpful. Reality of a Tory led NHS now is you go to A&E to wait for 5-6 hours (maybe more as I’m not sensing my name being called anytime soon) to probably just be told your obs and bloods are fine and to go home. It’s a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) As soon as I posted I got called through. Quick check with the doc and an X-ray later and it’s a suspected chest infection and a weeks worth of amoxicillin. Urgh. At least it’s nothing sinister. In QE Cafe now with a sausage sarnie, probs not the best thing to eat at the mo but I haven’t eaten since yesterday evening.

It’s a joke. That sucks - hope you get some encouraging news soon. The QE is widely regarded as one of the least effective hospitals in all of the NHS though. A family member who is very high up in the NHS says she has to go up there regularly to help them try to establish basic processes. My old man was in there a couple of years ago with a DVT and his experience was horrendous. He was left in a bed for a day and nobody came to review him all day. When he needed to use the bathroom, he buzzed and buzzed for a nurse and they'd come and then tell him they were busy but would be back to take him to the bathroom in a minute. After 3 hours of this, I went to have a quiet word with the head nurse and only then did he get any movement. He was discharged after four or five days on a Friday morning at 7am. Told to wait for the pharmacy to deliver his meds, he waited all day. Later in the morning someone came to take the bed as he no longer needed it. A few hours later someone came for the chair. He was literally left to stand in a room for hours until the meds finally arrived at 9 that night - 14 hours after he was discharged. I am sure there are plenty of amazing people who do amazing work at the QE but compared to my experience of other hospitals, the QE is very badly run. Probably not what you wanted to hear while you're in there. Hope you get well soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 My grandad went to A&E, after he had a fall and sprained his ankle, I've not heard anything from him, so I hope he's ok. I think he fell in 1994, so I'm sure he's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The amount of comments in support of Brunei's stoning of gay people law on BBC articles relating to it. A lot of them basically supporting the genocide of 10% of the world's population. Terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Couples that **** hashtag endless shit without knowing what hashtag are. I know 2 couples that are getting married this year and when I was on Facebook they posted regular updates with **** inane hashtag. #notlongatall #excitingtimes #futurehubby words removed. Utter words removed. The thing is both friends are prone to stropping so I can't even message them and say what the **** have you become. The only positive is only one of them has invited me to the wedding. Don't get me started on that in the North on a bloody Friday. words removed.
