I understand this government has a ten year plan. We can all contribute. What will we say!?
I could use examples from my story
I could use the hopeless palliative care of my mother.
I could even just mention my Dad’s 24 hours in hospital last weekend. On a trolley. Good speedy administration of antibiotics. Painkillers. But on a trolley? All night? I sat in a plastic seat all night. Except when he disappeared at X-ray. Found him on a trolley trying to get off.
Good geriatric team assessment. But in their haste to get him out they left his canula in.
I could mention the 10 hour wait for pharmacy.
In other news my GP receptionist rang. Apparently to book me an asthma review. I explained I’d already been reviewed. I’m also under review by BARTs severe difficult asthma patients clinic. Oh she said. And cut the call.
It’s all some kind of hopeless disorganised chaos. . Is it the case that so many middle managers tell us what to do in the most inefficient stochastic manner possible.
Preadmission clinic in Luton. For the jaw break operation. 6 different people asked me the same stupid questions. My answers got less and less accurate. Allergies? Not really. Operations ? A couple. Previous operations? A couple? They wrote it all in pen on stupid forms. They couldn’t even access the notes from Bedford. The same Trust.
What else should I tell Kier? Or Wes?
I’m actually so tired so sleep deprived I could actually punch Kier Wes anyone

We need about twenty people like you in every ( small) area, to simply do an efficient job. They need a degree in common sense and an ability not to waste time. It surely is not an impossibility, is it?
I’m writing this on a completely black piece of paper. Maybe it’s to stop people like me writing bollocks. Hope you get some sleep. xx N

Love it! I’m going to actually march to some NHS land and tell them how to sort it out. !! X
