VIP TREATMENT

In spite of delayed surgery appointments,

      under funding of the NHS

      admissions kept waiting on trolleys

      overcrowded A & E departments

      sub standard hospital food

      overworked doctors

      underpaid nurses

      last minute cancelling of operations

      administrative cock ups

      risk of MRSA

      the banning of flowers to cheer patients up

      profits recycled from car parks

      insomnia on the wards

      sounds of distress on the wards

      false promises from chiefs

      unfulfillable targets

      twenty four hour dispensaries

      hospital closures,

in spite of all this, all is well.

 

The Duke of Edinburgh aged 96

had his hip successfully operated on,

proving that miracles are possible.

Thanks Anya. I try to keep out of the loop myself!

Thanks Tommy. I hope you're right !

Classic, Suki. There must be a poem there surely.

David, you're spot on - number one pull on the public - hence Hello and OK mags. I quite like a bit of fantasy myself, but more seedy. Of all the Royals, Phil is to admired most - not quite a chinless wonder. Even divorcees get attention.

Cheers Laura. He could always tone that down and get an Edward V111 mask instead of the outfit.

Thanks Mark. I am glad you are able to stay away from hospital care, in spite of reports to-ing ant fro-ing which I presume are not too sinister. Re age factor, it seems a lot of admissions are based on attacks on youth, so we hear.
Thanks for the likes Pat and Col.

Many thanks all ! Ray

As a firm believer in self-awareness and self-care, I use
that to keep away as much as possible from any chance
of hospital ward ln-care. My familiarity to date is limited
to outcare visits to my GP and useful copies of corres. between that source and my local (excellent) hospital in
Paddington (well known for Royal family births). It's my
intention to maintain that situation for as long as I can
in the belief that the passing years do not necessarily
equate with the passing of one's well-being OR one's
life before its time. The present media mantra that the
strain on the NHS is due to an "increasingly elderly population" is a visible cop-out to anyone who sees the
reality of so many of those demanding treatment who
fall outside of that deceitful definition...clearly strangers
to self-anything except self-indulgence!

Ha ? Nice one Ray.

Oh and David - divorce looms when he resurrects his accidental Nazi outfit to fire up their love life ?

One of my most embarrassing work experiences was when I tried to feed cornflakes to a deceased nun. I didn't realise she was dead, even though the patients around me did..

I was a care worker in an emergency admissions ward..
