They say things come in three's .....they have today

I'm sorry your year has got off to such a bad start, but you are lucky to have such an efficient doctor. Most doctors are too busy to notice symptoms other than the one the patient is there for. Many people have died simply because a doctor missed vital clues to a condition.

That is shocking surfingsal I hope that somehow your DD was treated and will be OK.

I haven't been to A&E for many years It sounds horrendous. I hope your actions and photos can alert more people with power to improve the situation.

Gosh, surfingsal,that sounds shocking. I hope your actions can get things improved for the patients and staff.
And I hope your daughter and son are soon well again.

I have been at the hospital since 2pm today and got home at 10.30 tonight, A@E was packed my daughter has been in there since yesterday morning, she was eventually moved to what is normally the recovery room but they are using it as an overspill ward. Well shocked is an understatement, there were huge wheelie bins at the end of the room collecting the rain pouring in from the roof, the walls were mouldy and plug sockets had tape over them as they were to wet to be used. I had my eldest daughter with me and we were really loathed to leave youngest daughter there but she insisted we left as she was worried about us driving in this awful weather, I have to admit it made me cry, not just because of worrying about my daughter but the poor nurses working in such terrible conditions, we took photos and we will be writing to our MP and local newspapers , it is hard to believe thisis happening in 2025!

Sorry you have all this to deal with, what a worry!
It doesn't matter what time of year it is there is always trouble for someone.
Sorry that this time that 'someone' is you and yours.
Wishing you all the strength to deal with this.

I do hope all three worrying situations resolved soon and happily.

hoping it all gets sorted soon and I must admire your mum as that is a hard conversation but you know that when time comes you have done what she wanted

Oh goodness surfingsal what a start to the New Year. I hope that things improve soon.
You are due three good things ..

Thinking of you all surfingsal

When I was taking down the few decorations I had, I had the most depressing thought - perhaps it’s the last time I’ll be doing this 🥲

January does often tend to start off with bad news. I do sympathise right now with you and anyone with poorly relatives
We just heard of one death already one serious illness and one illness requiring urgent tests etc. It’s a dismal time of year for a lot of people in many ways take care of your nearest and dearest.

Thinking of you all, surfingsal, and hoping that everyone’s on the mend very soon.

What a distressing day for you . I wish your DC good recoveries. Imarocker makes a very sound point. The conversation must have been hard - thinking of you and your family.

The rest of 2025 can only get better. All the best to you and yours and I hope your son and daughter are better soon.

Oh no what a bad start ! I had that conversation with my mum it’s very depressing. Hope everyone is okay and makes a full recovery 🤞

Did your mother fill in a form and sign it? If so, you need to a copy in her kitchen. My mother had signed to say she wanted to die at home but when the time came the paramedics said she had to go to hospital. So there we were, her on the floor with them resuscitating her and my DH on the phone to the surgery who had trouble locating the form. We were told that you should have it pinned to the kitchen noticeboard Thankfully, the surgery finally found it. I hope both your DC are ok.

Oh dear - what a day for you. I hope that 3 good things come your way and that all your family members will be well soon.
