Thread: Shocking dumped outside Hospital

How often does this happen?

Let's hope the privatization of UK hospitals doesn't go to this level of care.

...what's also shocking is that hospital guards followed orders to remove the patient from the hospital despite her obvious distress...at some point, underlings have to stand up to such outrageously callous decisions...tRump office pets take note...

Unfortunately, the fear of losing their job, could well be a factor in why nothing gets reported.

How often does it happen? Probably more often than we want to think it does.

There’s a problem when someone is ready to be discharged from a hospital and has no place to go. That’s probably why the poor woman was there in the first place. Dumping her outside, alone, with no warm clothing to catch a bus is beyond the pale. Everyone working at that hospital knows better.

Why were security guards taking her out, anyway? That shouldn’t be their responsibility.



As far as UK hospitals being privatized, I didn’t know about that. Sad news. Things won’t get any better if privately run for profit.

Universal healthcare would have meant this did not happen.
Regulation of the insurance companies needs to occur for that to happen, and for Trump to fkcuk off out of the WH.

Labour laws need reviewing too. In Australia and NZ, it's not so easy to sack someone. Trump's "You're fired" attitude must end, especially in the public and health sectors.

Still wouldn’t have given her a place to go if she had been discharged. She should have been allowed to stay until the next morning when social services could be called to help her.

Sorry bunch at that hospital.

Seems Trump is to blame for everything,I believe this has been happening before Trump was elected.

The hospital could have easily telephoned an organization that helps people with mental health problems.

...google away...

Would have preferred it came from an American as no doubt, whatever link I provide it will be attacked for its political views, though from what I have seen it was under the Dems as well.

Maybe Denmark?

Are you being a little defensive now,I was attacking anyone just trying to find info.

Let's say the NHS is providing a shit hole experience for patients these days, though we don't dump people on the street.

Should say wasn't

Applies also to elderly care, school, train network, and electricity distribution and sales.

This is what happens in shitholes...

Why is this in the Members section, Chico?

Because whenever i post in the lounge section it gets moved to the news section.

Terribly civilised business culture.
Lessened the nature of social and familial extensions.

Have to say was a bit of an eye opener for me the other day as had to go and pick a mate up from A&E at Leighton hospital and the amount of people on trollies in corridors waiting to be seen was staggering. Also was a sign up saying expect a 6 hour wait before getting seen.

Not doubt that extra £300m a week you voted for will be arriving to save the NHS any day now.
