Thread: OUCH

Greetings All,
Noting the direction this thread has taken I thought it useful to relate the following. I got carted of to Hospital last week due to a bad case of vertigo and spent the night in the Acute Assessment Unit. The service I received from the staff was exemplary (the next step up from excellent). This at a time when Hospitals are normally busy to frantic. Fortunately I had recovered enough to be bundled of home the following day.
Regards Grandpamac.

FFS 330 get the barbwire outta ya g string -the 747comment was me being facetious no offence was intended in any way shape or form of the actual aircraft-you guys are doin it hard i know and my sympathies are with you.

its not just psych nurses either, my MIL recently retired from nursing as fed up with the entire BS of it.
the absolute rigmarole of getting patients meds issues ( non opiodes and painkillers just general meds) were ridiculous, end of a shift and 6-8 ward nurses being asked to use the same PC for end of shift report, "cultural lessons" mandatory, being abused by a certain religious group about being tended to by a woman.
in the end it was a case of too much stress and she quit. 40 years of experience gone to the medical world @kotuku , she worked in mental health too in chch years back

i went to my psychiatrist and told him that 24 for hours of day all that was in my head was the lyrics to "delilah"
he told me it was the worst case of tom jones syndrome he had ever seen
i asked if it was common and he told me its not unusual
