'humanitarian Crisis' In Nhs Hospitals, Warns Red Cross
http://
When the Red Cross says something like this, then surely we have to sit up and take notice ?
A quote from the Shadow Health Secretary :::::::
"For the Red Cross to brand the situation a 'humanitarian crisis' should be a badge of shame for government ministers."
Who can argue with that ?
The NHS is safe with us ....really ?

TTT... time to clear out the 99 layers of admin?
Okay ... grand idea ... so who will open the post, chase results, coordinate clinics, deal with patients queries, take calls, type letters, book appointments, list patients for discussion at MDT, book diaries, book meetings, take minutes, call patients for day case procedures (including finding them a bed, arranging pre-op assessment, requesting their notes, organising FBC, INR and MRSA), organise mandatory training, track notes, file, photocopy, scan, email, fax, fill out and send out blood forms, request and chase histology / ummunohistochemistry and execute all other associated administrative tasks?
The Doctors? The Nurses?

Good morning, I must appologise to Camp for the way I responded to his post yesterday, It was not meant as a "As said Condersending way" I hope you except this camp, there are a few on here tat thrive on Sarcastic replies but I'm not one of them, there are also a lot on here that think they are clever with their responses, again, I am not one of them, I have re-read my reply to you & yes, I could have put it another way but that's the way I am, If I am wrong I will say It and apoligise & this is not a sign of weakness but my way of saying, I could have replied in a different way. as usual one person starts a post off & before long it gets railroaded off course as this post has & then comes in the smart ars brigade, this will never stop as the small minded on here can not help themselves but that' life. TWR
TWR.
To this day I will never understand the urge to apologise on AB, it is a sort of culture, if i apologise they will think better of me....NONSENSE...they won't.
You have a series of facts before you, you assess them and come to a conclusion which you post. You may be correct in posting and you may not, but at least you made a decision and nobody is always right....nobody.
So, what is there to apologise about......getting it wrong? Everybody makes mistakes, everybody misinterprets the data at some time.
No, I cannot understand the AB culture.
As I am in full flow.....the post to the receiver of the apology who comes out of this smelling of roses, is done just to make YOU feel worse.
You said what you felt.........stick by it.
