Hansel Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I never fully appreciated NHS when I was younger but we are so lucky to have it and should cherish and guard it. Mrs had a miscarriage last year. Went for the 12 week scan showed fluid behind the baby's neck which we were told can be a sign of chromosomal abnormalities (downs syndrome and other rare syndromes) We were put in touch with fetal medicine to have further blood tests and a further scan showed that the baby had died. We were both devastated. We then needed to have an overnight visit to RIE to deliver our dead son. We were given a room and the care we received was incredible. The midwives were really attentive to our situation. Even although we were struggling with the loss they made us feel cared for that really helped us get through it. So much respect for midwives now. The Mrs is expecting again and our son will be here, all going well, in August. We've had additional tests and scans because of what happened last year and everything looks OK. Just need to look at the states to see how much a hospital visit could end up costing you. Absolutely mental. Even if you have insurance you might not be covered for certain things. It needs to be taught in schools about its importance so that its not taken for granted by future generations. It may not be perfect but where would we be without it?

Thanks mate. 👍 Yeah, it's amazing how often you see people with Downs and they're living life to the max and loving every minute of it. Then everyone else is miserable. We were devastated at the thought of having a son with downs, but then when we found out he had died, we would've given anything to bring him back, and the fact he had downs didn't matter one little bit. I'm so glad that you're gran daughter is giving you and your family so much joy mate. That's lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 My daughter is a NHS nurse, saw her on Sunday and never seen her as stressed following a shift. Just completed a night shift. Ward of 22, served by 3 nurses, 9 patients had Covid, 7 patients were on end of life care, one died during shift, single rooms so the 3 of them never stopped getting patients back into beds either because they fell out, climbed our or just decided to go for a wander. Called NHS bank for help, no help available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the GP time wasted to get said paracetamol. NHS needs a fit for purpose procurement system. They get tied into contracts for things you can get in Poundland at 1/10 of the price. Stationary is a prime example. I can’t fault the NHS for any treatment I’ve received. I think most NHS staff would prefer an increase in staff numbers over any pay rise.

Jambof3tornado Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 A broken system due to years of underfunding and cutbacks. Closure of community hospitals resulting in a reduction of bed numbers added to a reduction in social care packages mean so many beds are tied up by bedblockers(those fit for discharge but unable to be discharged due to having nowhere to send them). Never seen so many stressed nurses on wards being forced by bed managers to discharge patients not fit for discharge just to free up beds.

NHS National Procurement in Scotland is more than fit for purpose, in fact it's better performing than pretty much any public procurement function in the UK. Stationery is actually great example, a pen from poundland might a 10th of the price but it only lasts 1/10th of the time, has twice the failure rate and no choking hazard safety hole, not to mention poundland can't deliver at all far less to the 300 NHS sites across the country at specific times so as to not clash with other deliveries and especially not to the western isles, orkney or shetland.
