A 95 year old frail old lady, in extreme pain from a broken hip and her 92 year old husband of 61 years (plus her devoted little dog by the looks) left waiting in the cold for FIVE FUCKING HOURS because she was “not a priority.” That is the depraved state of our ‘national health service’ today which spaffs millions on ensuring ‘diversity and equality’ within its ranks, but can’t get an ambulance to an extremely vulnerable old lady lying flat out on a freezing pavement in agony.
This is what really pisses me off. A tweet from MP Rupert Lowe.
The NHS in the South West can't fund the ambulance service adequately in order to respond to old ladies lying injured on cold pavements, but they can afford to spaff 60 grand a year on yet another 'diversity manager'. Utterly despicable.
"Another nonsense NHS diversity job on offer, this time 60k in the South West. Do not underestimate how deep-rooted this poisonous ideology has become in the public sector.
It must be weeded out.
I absolutely detest it. We must get rid of the lot."
Once you understand that the end goal is to kill most of you in an orderly fashion it all becomes very clear. There's no other way to explain the Madness of 'covid'. Population reduction and redistribution of more controllable mud people into your cities and town is the point.
It's extremely difficult to find a definitive list of all emergencies which might be classified as category 1 or 2 - they are deliberately vague in my opinion. Not all life threatening injuries or illnesses involve stroke, heart attack, serious bleeding, unconsciousness or severe allergic reaction. Given the seriousness of this lady's injury and her age and the location of her fall, she should have been categorised as a level 3 fall - the most serious (life threatening) which IMO should have qualified her to be treated as at least a category 2 patient for ambulance response time, meaning that she should not have waited more than 40 minutes. 5 and a half hours is outrageous and she could have died or may well have suffered serious additional complications.
When a healthcare worker (GP, district nurse etc) orders an ambulance rather than a member of the public, they do seem to have some discretion as to what service level to request, and they may bump it up a level if they think it needs it given the likely wait times. So often these things happen when there is no healthcare worker around, sadly, and then it's all done by the rulez.
I live in Bournemouth so know this area well. It’s literally a mile up the road to Bournemouth Hospital, which by the way has been extended with a new wing. I’m almost wondering why we don’t have a community ambulance service but then realise even if you get to A&E you have to wait. Often the reason there are no ambulances is because current ones haven’t off-loaded patients and aren’t allowed to.
There is a massive resource drain. The big question is if there was an emergency law passed to apply a £10 levy on every A&E visit except for those over 70 would there be a change in the way the place was run?
Because the money is spent on managers, admin, and DEI. Nothing gets to front line medicine. Also, services like ambulances, have been privatised (lowest bidder).
A couple of years ago now (2019) my GP told me to dial 999 for a potential heart condition. The ambulance arrived quickly, and I was quickly connected to the electronic diagnosis gizmo, with a direct link to the Cardio Emergency specialists at my local hospital. All very impressive. The cardiologist team said, "Blue Light Emergency", and we should have been on our way. We weren't. Whenever the ambulance crew attempted to secure the rear door of the ambulance, an alarm kept sounding. Apparently, this was a known fault that hadn't been rectified. The ambulance was in a dilapidated state of repair. We sat outside my house for around 40 minutes before the ambulance crew, eventually, managed to get the door to close without an alarm. A Blue Light Emergency and we were going nowhere because the crew weren't allowed to ignore the alarm and no replacement ambulance was available for an emergency case! Absolutely shocking the state of our NHS ambulance service.
Sadly this is not an unusual wait time for an elderly person who has had a fall in the UK nowadays. If you're lucky and the ambulance is in the area, they can still come right away, but an acquaintance was told he would have to wait far longer than 5 hours and ended up giving instructions to his relatives to rig up a stretcher and drive him to hospital. It's a question of triaging against all the boostered people with strokes and heart attacks, so "not a [relative] priority" is an accurate if callous-sounding explanation. The people with strokes and heart attacks are much easier for amateur first aiders to move, so maybe the triage should work the other way, although part of the point of an ambulance service is the opportunity to treat before the patient reaches hospital.
Yes, touching that the NHS is giving priority to those suffering from the devastating effects of the Covid boosters when in fact the NHS makes it a top priority, even now, to ensure that those people get injected in the first place.
The Covid booster vaccine rendered me unconscious for 48 hours. Went to bed feeling fine. Woke up in the morning to find it was 2 days later! Attempts to report this (Green Card) were ignored. Never again. I'm now unactivated as I don't trust these so-called vaccines.

Nothing NEW... https://postlmg.cc/TKQjqCj4
Just carry on VOTING for scoundrels, fraudsters and terrorists. It has been working so well.
What a tragic story!! I’m surprised she didn’t die at her age and in those conditions! It’s unfortunately happening everywhere these days.
Condolences for Ms. de Buisseret.

It seems that no matter how much money is thrown at the NHS it continues to fail.

Longest wait times in the country for category 1 and 2 patients in this region according to this report.

The great benefits of nationalized health on full display!
Internationalised health more like. The nation's health is no longer a priority.
Was it ever?
