The NHS itself is fair game because we can blame the government, but 'hard worked' doctors and nurses themselves are above reproach if you listen to most commentators.<BR/><BR/>I beg to differ. I have had the misfortune of regular visits to our local hospital where various members of the Hughes tribe have suffered treatment over the past few years. <BR/><BR/>Invariably we have to endure long delays. I see important looking people dawdling about the corridors staring at clipboards and I hear groups of NHS employees debating last night's Eastenders. I see very few people actually being treated, but I do see huge signs threatening castration if you dare complain about this situation.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the NHS is a shambles and maybe its employees are shackled by its inadequacies, but I also think there is an unnacceptable percentage of NHS staff who think these problems are ours to suffer and not theirs to resolve.<BR/><BR/>EAR I AMNIGEL HUGHEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06130220677837642011noreply@blogger.com
