why do you say that. I am very sorry to hear what happened with your dad.

I can't give a reason of course. I hope your dad is alright now.


Also its worrying re strokes. we are told that instant treatment is necessary. I suspect it often is lack of staff and even equipment. or even beds.

There often can be so many patients that it must be so difficult to cope with them all as swiftly as they really need.

Nurses and doctors are humans just like us. If a nurse is overworked having to cover staff that are not there they must be under a lot of stress.

You would need to speak to nurses or doctors to maybe see it from their viewpoint.


when it is our loved one it is hard to deal with when we don't know what is going on.


from what I hear, since there have been changes for junior doctors-- who used to work terribly long hours-- they now work less hours-- which seems to mean that in emergencies there are not enough doctors to deal with everything.


Also maybe it depends what area you live in-- whether there is extra demand for hospital treatment in some areas. after all we have a lot of immigrants and their families.

when I take my animals to the vet I do get good attention-- but I also have to pay for that treatment. we tend to take so much for granted.
