Aha so you were stoned then?
When my lad tore his bottom lip off at school aged 9 , twas hanging on by about 1/2 inch of tissue, not only did the fucking school not do ant first aid other than give a concussed and bleeding child a paper towel ( after refusing him entry back into the classroom and making him walk all the way round the school) But they also did not call an ambulance, another parent who could see him through the window in a pool of his own blood did phone for one, but by then I was there and took him directly to hospital.
He had lost about a pint of blood by them , was white, in pain and in shock, and the bastards on the desk said A & E was busy and he would have to wait about 4 hours to be seen. I picked up my cellphone, borrowed the receptionists yellow pages and phoned the local TV station. As soon as I explained to the TV station ( loud speaker on so the hospital staff could hear) that whilst they were treating drunks and prisoners they were keeping children with head injuries and major blood loss waiting 4 hours.
MIRACLE of MIRACLES just like magic multiple doctors , nurses and porters appeared from nowhere and whisked my lad off for care, and seconds later a senior hospital administrator arrived to reasure me i did not need to invite the media to get involved.
I complained to the education authority about the two teachers, one retired early the other left the school, The medics were told in no uncertain terms that if they ever again delayed medical care to my children I would guarentee them I would see their careers dragged through the mud and courts and media.
This of course is the same hospital that told my wife her mum who had a heart attack would be coming home that weekend to recover, only to phone back two hours later to tell me she had died !!
The same hospital that gave me diamorphine pain treatment for a back injury even though my notes and myself had told them I am allergic to morphiates!!!
Its the same one that is suppopsed to be dealing with my current injury!!!
Scrap the NHS and privatise it, and make medics individually and personally liable for their screwups.
