In much the same fashion, I played 5's for the first time in a couple of months after an injury lay off on Monday evening, and once all the good players were suitable knackered after running about in the sun for 50 mins or so, I scored a couple of absolute worldies towards the end. We still got beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday was because somebody forgot to pass her paperwork over to the ward she got moved too (an excuse that wouldn't wash in a dead end admin job never mind a medical.profession) and today was because they didn't have all her medical history from the GP (after 5 full days in the hospital) and they didn't have another doctor available in the hospital able to sign her off to get the scan. I appreciate the nurses working their arses off everyday throughout covid but this has been astonishing levels of incompetence and its stems from the shambolic middle management and self important clipboard warriors across the NHS. The other thing that really has angered me is the fact that due to covid only 1 person can see her and no other visitors - no matter what day. Along with being deaf she has dementia and 90 years old and will be terrified of whats happening (or lack of). She has had to fast prior to scans that have never happened and since nobody can communicate with her she will wonder why nobody is giving her food. Absolutely harrowing that this is the level of care that is deemed acceptable for vulnerable people. Sorry, just had to vent that out. Fucking fuming and upset that a lot of these issues can be avoided with common sense but in a hospital there is too much red tape preventing sense from ever prevailing. That's awful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that would be a fairly basic and fundamental IT requirement. All government IT systems are useless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still got beat. This actually took place about 5 minutes in, shortly before I became so tired I could hardly breath. We also lost about 25-3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 If I know two things about P&B it's that people love photos of injuries and that people love photos of feet.So here's a photo of the toe I innocuously stubbed while swimming yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It’s 31 degrees. I’ve got to run 4 miles through some of South London’s less glam estates. Whilst holding a man bag thing. It contains cash, cards, car keys and various items of value. Suppose I could get public transport but I love a run in the heat. Saw a toothless Scotsman wrestle someone from their bicycle earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this can be a bit irritating for staff but they usually understand, and I've caught a few things before they went wrong. Quite often it's just a lack of communication, usually down to how busy folk are.There are also some fantastic nurses / auxiliaries (or whatever the new term is), and some fucking dreadful ones.

Don't get me wrong the nurses on the wards are fantastic, one of which is spending time when she can with my gran picking up some very basic BSL to try and bridge the communication gap. I just feel these nurses are let down by those above them in the chain and others who are not patient facing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
