A&E Timewasters
28 Answers
I found this article on the local news site today:
http://menmedia.co.uk...target-ae-timewasters
"The top 10 examples of timewasting visits to A&E and 999 calls in the region are:
- A patient attending A&E complaining that her false nails were hurting her and asked that staff remove them.
- A patient attending A&E requesting that someone cut her toe nails as she could not get a chiropody appointment.
- A man who dialled 999 as he was suffering from constipation - he was otherwise fit and well.
- A child was brought into the department by her mother after she had trodden in dog faeces and the mother could not bear to wipe it off. She requested that A&E staff cleaned the shoe.
- A man who called 999 for an ambulance after he was bitten on the finger by Guinea pig.
- A woman who called 999 as she didn’t have transport to hospital.
- Female called 999 because she had diarrhoea.
- A woman who went to A&E because she had paint in her hair which she couldn’t remove.
- A woman who went to A&E because her hand had turned blue – it turned out dye had transferred from her jeans.
- A man who attended A&E because he had a hangover".
This shortly followed an article on a campaign about assaults on staff. The people who work in these kind of environments deserve a medal.

Erin... I don't envy you. Bloody hate dentists! x
Marty, nah it was no problem. Just copy and pasted it into the search bar... though kind of wish I hadn't. It made me wince! Did it go through the bone, or just miss?
Evian, I never watched that. I thought it would be too gruesome... though clearly not! lol.
