Long week at work, good to be home by the fire.

I didn't ever intend this post to be about ethnicity but it is very interesting, and a bit disturbing, to see how many people read it that way? My intention was to show that taking the powers from Hospital staff, police, ambulancemen and firemen is having a disastrous effect on the organisation and the 'normal' patients. Why oh why in the modern day world is it not acceptable to either segregate or refuse to treat these people ? As Sharpe points out it is a very poorly managed organisation, especially managers on huge salaries that are ruining it by draining the resources. As I look out the window across the fields to my local hospital I feel safe in the knowledge that the man in charge of it has a good firm base, his previous position was as a manager in Asda (Walmart), good medical background there. No one but no one should be running a medical organisation unless they come from a medical background, full stop. The results as you say of this paranoia running around we need to discuss, it should not be ignored, and it is sad it has become that way. When people feel they cannot freely discuss a subject then that is free speech gone and censorship applied. However all of that is something else and not what the post was about, very interesting to read the responses, Pete we all expect, but surprised how others picked up the thread, I'm keeping an eye on Canada.

As a Canadian I am sorry RobMc for my misunderstanding your meaning. ( Canadians always apologize) I saw similar situations in a Hospital here on TO. I thought you mentioned middle eastern and Russian folks and jumped to the wrong conclusion. So therin lies the problem overall its just plain folks that cause all these problems for the doctors and nurses. We must not speak unkindly of these transgressions lest we be doomed to eternal damnation. I will take the higher ground the next time I see all this shit going on and as Monty sang on the cross "Always look on the bright side of life" Cmon everybody sing the song.

WATCH TILL THE END @RobMc

Yep, kind of beating your head against a wall Rob. The informed and educated know all this nonsense isn't going to have a flowery end. Those that will not accept any form of reality are hastening their own demise, and they're too ignorant to see it coming. You can lead a horse to water...... I quit posting for the better part of a year, after being threatened on this site for continuing to work. Like Ted Cruz says, you can't befriend the "woke", you might as well continue to piss them off, because you have a voice, and their "canceling" doesn't silence you. Somebody has to point out the obvious, even if it isn't popular.

You live in the garden ?

Wow son, just finished it, how did you stumble on this ? fantastic does not describe it adequately, thank you.

PART 2 I was told to lie immobile with my left leg for 6 weeks, in that time two alcoholics fell on it. At least the Alkies were pleasant, until one evening I noticed some of the visitors passing booze to one of them. The nurses closed the doors at 2200 and locked us in with these fckrs, you had to sleep on your possessions or they were gone. So he started on the piss and became increasingly erratic, staggering round the ward. Now I knew I had to live with this man for a while and it would not do to snitch on him. Then I had a brainwave, my wife who was still working at the time was on nightshift at my local hospital ward, so I sent her an SMS message. It worked, the nurses came charging in just as he'd set light to the towels in the toilet. You must by now be getting the idea, the staff are hamstrung by rules catering firstly for ethnicity, then human rights before any medical decisions were made. One night a temporary nurse gave me 3 x 300 mg of morphine, instead of 1 x 300mg, she thought they were 100mg each, luckily I spotted it otherwise no Rob here now. They (and security) cannot or will not restrain anyone lest it cost them their job, a ridiculous state of affairs. Then came the Russian who moved in en mass with his entire family, wife kids, mother in law etc etc, absolutely no peace and quiet for recovery. They turned up at 0800 and left around 2100, completely ignoring the visiting rules that were enforced upon locals, it was farcical, he ran his businesses from his bed via speakerphone in Russian, let me tell you they are loud, this was 24 hours a day. He was a 'scrap metal merchant' smiling at how well he was doing stealing farmers gates and manhole covers. The staff dared not touch him, they made a few efforts, but he ignored them, one of them admitted to me it was too dangerous for her job to try to stop him, marvellous eh? This week I'm in again, same old story, first night ok but second day the alko on our ward defecated in his bed 7 times, each time getting up to leave a brown trail to the toilet, staff can only watch they can't make him stay in bed. Then the obligatory druggie turned up and hell started, screaming, abuse attempted assault on a nurse, security and police called. As security can't restrain a patient we all listened as she trashed her cubicle and defecated on the floor, tv in pieces and the toilet wrecked, another bed lost for a needy patient. What I'm trying to show you here are the results of years of left wing softness, where we are all equal, where we deserve the same chances, even if we don't put one penny in the pot it's ok to demand equal treatment and don't challenge me boy I know my rights and will have you sacked. The scum are winning, they are above the law, you can't refuse them treatment you must treat them with respect and courtesy. Well you may think me old fashioned but fuck the way we've gone, it isn't working and the good people are suffering, sorry needed to get this off my chest and make other countries realise the truth. I realise some of you will be saying try Private Medicine, which I was in for 30 years. My experience was that for medical treatment no different to NHS, their hospitals are nicer but usually miles away with no crash teams. We used to be able to buy a cubicle in the NHS, but that was stopped as a 'privileged perk only available to the toffs' a political move not a common sense one. So we're all cattle class now, but only half the cattle foot the bill. America this is coming to you soon

Everything you read here is absolutely 100% true I swear it and has happened personally to me over the last 5 years. It is indicative of the breakdown in our society due to an obsession with socialist ideals over common sense. It probably is different in countries where you pay for healthcare, but in the UK it's free, leading to many abuses costing the taxpayer millions, holiday care abuse (i.e. where the purpose of the holiday is to get free treatment) has slowly been dealt with, but not totally eradicated, i.e. persons entitled to live here 'importing relatives'. However for the poor staff trying their best, with little funds, low morale etc etc it is beginning to be impossible, in my opinion every member of the NHS should be given a 10% raise immediately, from foreign aid to countries like India would be a good start. I am married to a retired nurse and didn't really believe her stories until I experienced them myself. For me it began in a local city where our parents were born, my mother in law had been rushed into hospital and all the family turned up to see her naturally. We never ever expected scenes such as this to be found in the UK, a riot was happening, around 20 people of middle eastern origin were screaming at the staff and threatening them, trying to jump the queue. Security were overwhelmed and the police called, were they arrested or evicted, no sirree they jumped the queue with the assistance of the police, that's ok for the honest tax paying citizens then? Then came my bike accident, two weeks intensive care and 12 weeks on a ward, when I was moved to the six bed ward for 2 days it was fine. On the third day this lunatic ran in, jumped on a corner bed, screaming abuse to everyone then left to get his fix. He returned that night, out of his mind, barging round the ward and almost fell on me, no sleep that night as we had to watch all our possessions, took the hospital 6 days to kick him out, there were more social workers than nurses on the ward. Meantime we could hear shouting from a cubicle further down the corridor, this was a particularly obnoxious druggie, not just abusive but violent to the staff, all of the young nurses were in tears. It is the only time in my life where I would willingly have killed someone if I'd had the means. Police and security were on a shift basis, 24 hours a day of screaming and foul language, even when kiddies were visiting. I got the story of this guy eventually, and it made me wonder about God, he lived in a 4 storey hostel on the top floor, One night he fancied smoking some crack on the roof under the stars, it was a slate tiled roof but unfortunately for him it rained, he slid off, fell 4 floors, landed between some metal railings and only had a few minor breaks, no justice is there? From the third day I was never without a druggie or an Alkie, more methadone was taken than paracetomol, I woke at 0230 one night to hear something out of Breaking Bad, The guy opposite me (who had a lovely wife and two kids) was a dealer, I'd heard him talking to his visitors about his boss and how good the pay was, he was in after being mugged by 3 men who stole his stash and money. The conversation I listened to was surreal (he thought I was asleep), during the assault he'd managed to steal two of the mobile phones, he was giving his boss the names and numbers. I actually heard his boss saying the 'firm' would deal with it, we all know what that means. I will continue this later, there is more

GG and I have been enjoying the world as it should be, Getting out. Recently we got a new Ride.. Ruby SS is her name.. She is 3 months old and doing great. This past week she went for her first outing. My best friend and I took her out to the mountains for 5 days. Went less the 5 hours away to a Camaro Rally with over 180 cars and put over 1700 miles on her, Over a 1000 of that was just being in and around the Tail of The Dragon in East TN and NC.. If your not familiar with the TOD you should look it up.. 318 turns in 11 miles, and other great roads.. 129, and Cherohala skyway and few more.. A few of our other stops included Vengeance Racing, potential place for Ruby to get some upgrades some day. And Deals Gap ..Any way here are some picks for you to enjoy.. God I love the road and getting out... And we only had one causality out 180 cars and most likely over 150000 miles between us all, We had 26 states represented, long haul was from Oregon.

Holy <edit*> You wnet* thru hell and back, witnessed hell, saw what hell was like, felt like hell, hell followed, hell....SW...Cra**. I feel guilty devouring every word you typed, due to how interesting and WOW it is. I only quoted the specific piece above, because it is a real eye opener. There's sometimes talk about Universal healthcare over here that i THOUGHT was a good idea, till your reality shows it to be a possible nightmare. We all over pay for health care here or you pay extra at tax time for not being able to prove you have paid for some. Unless your poor, then you get it for free, but there are some limits I think... No matter what I typed above, you've paid your dues and I'm sorry you had to deal with that shit.

Been listening to Jordan Peterson for years, lots of great stuff. He had a really bad time of it the last two years but he has turned the corner and is getting back in the game.

Watching HD porn over wifi on your TV sucks up ALOT of bandwidth.

A good discussion which delves into why just giving people money won't solve the problem. It is certainly a very complex topic. The NHS in the UK may be underfunded, it may also be overfunded. It most certainly is horribly run with a huge amount of resources squandered in many areas. At a certain point the healthy productive members of society can only do so much if the system is overburdened. Of course this is where the judgement aspect that Dr. Anthony Daniels mentions comes in to play. It has become increasingly difficult to point out harsh realities in society. One point of view may be that "we must spend an ever increasing amount of money on the NHS, until everyone's needs are taken care of". Unfortunately there are other realities such as limits on number of qualified staff which simply can't be overcome by spending more. You then overwork the staff you do have, leading to a poorer standard of care.

Snap watch what you say for bil C-10 may edit your post and silence you for PM passed that law to kill free speach as we know it to feather his nest

C'mon Icey - you know I couldn't let this pass - please - please - pretty please

Well said. https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/the-10-happiest-countries-in-the-world

You'll be amazed how out of practice he is, I can kill him

Hey I watch that too, another programme where the women are tougher than the men at times, fascinates me to see how lack of food seriously effects the thinking capacity and energy of the human body. In readiness for being invited with some gorgeous chick I've padded out my body to survive 5 years minimum.

Oh we pay heavily for it, at least those working do, but everyone gets to use it

Because you do not live in the UK, all the laws to protect these fckrs were by socialist governments believe me, the dilutions in fines and punishments, the hordes of social workers instead of policemen, result is near anarchy, bet most Uk citizens think the same. Thanks 'son' I'll watch this tonight

I'll talk about what I want to lady, but you may change me with showing your tits, us men are basic

lol.. You kill me. Showing your tits, we will make you an admin. lol

Alot of these posts should be put in a debate forum. Sadly it's all people are posting lately. I'm about to show my tits and get things back together.

Well unsurprisingly I completely disagree, and it is not about politics per se, it is to show everyone that our wonderful NHS is disintegrating year after year. The reason it is disintegrating is due to farcical standards and plain lack of common sense, these people should yes be given a chance, but if they abuse it they should be refused any treatment whatsoever. You work in the medical profession heres a few recent ones from near me, Despicable patient with hepatitis C spat on police after damaging five nurses' cars - Chronicle Live High risk hospital predator who subjected NHS staff to a campaign of sexual and racist abuse jailed - Chronicle Live 'Abuse is simply unacceptable': Police step up presence at Northumberland emergency hospital - Chronicle Live Quite simply it is socialist ideals that have lead to this, plain and simple, lack of discipline. Lock these people up and throw the key away My fishing buddy, ex policeman, retrained paramedic, turned up for a job last week and was injured by stoning from youths. They of course were too young to prosecute ,why?? Because of stupidity in our laws.

That's a good point, he may have been exposed in that two week window when gaining his immunity and we know that covid takes up to 14 days to show symptoms. The good news is he is out of the hospital, covid negative and is back to work.

I know that, but my point I am trying to make here, not everybody does!
