I bet they’re conservative voters but wonder why the NHS has no funding
Even if they just had two guys and a van, I’d expect it to take under 5 hours. This isn’t triage, this is negligence.
Youre equating paramedics and an ambulance with “two guys with a van”?
I’m not actually. I’m saying even if they were understaffed and untrained, I’d expect better response times
Cant have better response times if theres literally no one available in the first place. What point are you trying to make?
The conservative government for the last decade or more has massively cut NHS funding. Resulting in cases like this.
Except there was people available. She just wasn’t prioritized. That’s why it made the news
You seem to be using a definition of “available” that’s different from everyone else.
When they say “available”, it means someone who is not actively doing something. A paramedic who’s tending to another patient is not an available paramedic.
The problem with NHS is that it is free, therefore, anybody with a cold, or bruised bone seeks services. This lady wasn’t dying, so she wasn’t priority. It is inefficient to have free services, yet scarce resources to handle those services. The doctors feel like they are underpaid. NHS is like Soviet healthcare. Underpaid, poor services, yet it is free, which is what really matters. To make an inefficient system work, they have to triage everything. Singapore has no such problem with healthcare costs or accessibility.
The NHS worked great for decades. Whenever the Conservatives are elected, they repeatedly reduce funding. Its free at point of use. I pay national insurance every month which funds the NHS. its not funded from the magic money tree
How much do you pay per month and is it based on income? I have Great insurance that affordable but I realize not everyone does. We need to clean our system up. First we need to get PE out of health care.
I’m pcp is through Amazon and it’s amazing but it doesn’t scale. Every appointment is at least an hour. So it’s very focused on solving your needs.
Sounds like the NHS is in desperate need of more public funding, or a dispatcher is in desperate need of getting fired and sued, or possibly both.
A small English town in peacetime shouldn’t be a place that requires triage.She fell over with her husband and people nearby gave her blankets.
Nobody could just fuckin take her to the hospital?
Foh
It’s the UK, they need the government to wipe their asses too! I don’t know what went wrong with their country, but something did.
