Another One Gone

[teacake44]

A nurse who has served the NHS for 20years, saved many lives, was left by the ambulance crew who said he was not ill enough to be taken to hospital, after self isolating for nearly a week, and was not able to breath, died a few hours later at home. His family where given the run around 3 times by 111.

Tragic, being on the front line is ever so risky, I praise them all.

Any link to exactly which case this is? Had a google and nothing which matches your details, teacake.

[Mamyalynne]

I found this list which is sad reading, maybe Teacake's example is too recent.

If he's the same guy who Channel 4 News reported on, he actually worked for the NHS. His family phoned 111 on 4 occasions and on only one of those was he visited by paramedics who said he wasn't ill enough to be admitted to hospital. Collapsed behind his bathroom door and his son actually had to smash a hole in the door through which he climbed. Said his father's breathing was like nothing he had ever heard before. Paramedics and police arrived but there was nothing they could do. The guy has been dead a week and his body has still not been tested to confirm the presence of the virus! Shambolic treatment.

That's the one Mamy.

Thank you Ken. Like lambs to the slaughter due to the wrong PPE. Now they have new young junior doctors lining up to face the same. disgusting!!

[Ken4155]

The family also question (quite rightly imho) why Thomas Harvey wasn't tested. His son said in interview that they have read about politicians, celebrities and the like being tested immediately they showed mild symptoms. Had he been tested, he may have been alive today.

Teacake, all your posts are so negative but you haven’t once mentioned any of the positive stories. It must be being so cheerful that keeps you going.

23.31 A little advice then, if you see one of my posts don't read it, as I will continue to high light the needless deaths of NHS workers due to them not being protected, has TV do every morning, and have done for the past 3 months, but still falling on deaf ears within the government. I do hope that if this virus ever comes to an end that every family that have lost loved ones that have been let down are able to sue the hell out of this government for their deaths.

In the meantime I will look out for all the positive stories, from you.

[Zacs-Master]

I see we still don’t have a link to the actual story.

[fiction-factory]

A link would help. I assume it's not the same one ken referred to as that says "The guy has been dead a week and his body has still not been tested to confirm the presence of the virus! " so presumably that hasn't been confirmed as Covid yet.

For your tragic case, teacake, do we know he definitely died of Covid and caught it at work through lack of PPE? Do we know why the ambulance crew chose not to take him to hospital?

[Zacs-Master]

No one knows until a link is provided. The phrase ‘another one gone’ suggests a cumulative, recent occurrence.

[teacake44]

ff @11.00 the same one has ken referred too, he was already self isolating. The point is he was having breathing problems, and wasn't taken to hospital.?

[fiction-factory]

>The point is he was having breathing problems, and wasn't taken to hospital.?

So I was wondering why you threw in " Like lambs to the slaughter due to the wrong PPE. Now they have new young junior doctors lining up to face the same. disgusting!! " as part of this case

[Zacs-Master]

If it’s true that the body hasn’t been tested (as per Ken’s post) how can it be claimed it was CV19?

[teacake44]

11.11 what I do is read the whole post, and understand each comment that follows on, if you have problems with that, then I can't help you, and won't get drawn into any tit for tat. Bye :0)

[fiction-factory]

Something that I'm not clear on is why it is seen as solely the government's job to provide masks. I'd have thought that the NHS would have a procurement team and hospital managers who were responsible for this

[fiction-factory]

For masks read PPE

@teacake @any time they post - all you seem to be doing is latching on to one particular case at a time (that you have no link to) and then getting your knickers in a complete twist about. A little advice then, you clearly have a lot of time on your hands that you could maybe put to constructive use in some manner? Maybe help out in some way in your community, give you less time to dwell on all the people being ‘led like lambs to the slaughter’.

with all this negativity I assume you are a Labour voter, well you lost, get over it. In war there are casualties and triumph. You seem only to focus on the former. Try encouraging the NHS staff who are saving lives each day rather than highlighting the rare shortcomings.
