My friend working for the NHS
Yesterday my friend popped in, she had had a bad week and was in despair of the way the hospital in Chertsey is being run. Apart from people jumping the exceedingly long queues by paying privately for a consultation, then telling the consultant that they can’t afford private treatment so the consultant tells my friend to put this patient to the top of the list. My friend has been in tears as a 9 year old with cancer isn’t getting treatment and keeps being overlooked. The nine year old now wants to die as does a 14 year old pregnant girl. So the hospital decided to put on clinics at the weekends. My friend was thrilled as there are thousands on the waiting list, but no they’re going to take new patients as it looks better on their government waiting list chart! Many of her colleagues are so unhappy that they have decided to leave as figures are being massaged to look as if things are improving when they’re not.
