Took Mrs MR to the Emergency Department this morning, we were seen within 10 minutes of arrival we went from triage, treatment cubicle, x-Ray and finally admitted within three and a half hours.
She is receiving excellent care and treatment from very dedicated staff.
No complaints from me regarding the NHS despite horror stories in the media.

Stop global winging.

I must say that my mum received good care at Chesterfield Royal in early January. She went in feeling very ill and it later transpired to be C.Dif.

My dad had a knee op at the same hospital a couple of years ago and was happy with everything.

I guess when it comes to the press, there's no news like bad news. NHS horror stories will probably sell more than good stories but I think good reports deserve to be heard  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

A few weeks back my mother in law fell whilst collecting our kids from school

Really shuck up and painful wrist so we took her too Leeds St James A&E

In, triage, x rayed and strapped and back in the car heading home within 40mins

That must be a world record for A&E's

Hope Mrs MR is getting well and home soon  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

My wife works in a Doctors surgery and I can tell you it's a different story dahn sarf! The waiting list for appointments that she tries to arrange for her patients is just getting longer and longer.

Likewise up here in the Midlands Steve. Mrs. Badger has the same sort of role as your good lady, and it's a similar story. Stretched to the max, interpreters required daily at huge expense to the taxpayer, and it seems that most good doctors are fleeing the NHS in droves and going to work privately.

Still, it does have its perks, as NHS workers get significant discounts on certain things. Like below. Mrs. Badgers's new car, being collected on Sunday. It even has a heated front screen and steering wheel!!

Heated front screen, interesting, has fords patent ended Badger?

Thought we went through that before, Ford have a TM on the description Clearview or something, not the actual screen construction which dates back to at least the 60's and that was on a Rover 3500 rear, also fitted to BMC rally Mini Coopers my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

And there was me thinking that it was only Freelanders that had Diff problems.
