[John Feltham]

Veteran Humour.

Just had this sent to me from the UK, its from a fellow RAF Veteran.  
Read the last msg first, followed by the second msg..


Begin forwarded message:


Once being a first responder before I retired I myself suspected a  
blood clot and took Chris to A&E the triage nurse said were you  
referred here by a Doctor no I said “I brought her and explained why”  
I got that who do you think you are look. I’m glad to say that  
although the blood clot is yet to be confirmed two Doctors do agree  
with me.

John if she is in pain I suggest you become one; keep taking her to  
A&E for pain relief.

Also if you are not allowed to pick up more than a pound of sugar be  
careful when you go for a pee; you do not want to be handling anything  
too heavy.

Subject: Re: NHS Care?

I feel sorry for all those suffering, I wish we could get my Mother in  
Law in hospital, she is in great pain with a prolapsed disc again, she  
too can hardly walk, we bought her a motability scooter on Friday but  
I don't think there is going to be much use made of it.

The snag is I am supposed to be doing all the running around, lifting  
and humping and I'm not supposed to lift more than a bag of sugar at  
the mo. I am up the hospital again myself this afternoon to have the  
heart monitor fitted, back again tomorrow afternoon, doctors on  
Wednesday, what was the expression Roll on Death Demob is too Far Away!

==================================

Has the care gone out of the NHS?

Chris is unable to walk at the moment because of the pain in her leg  
even
though she is having regular does of morphine,
So she needs a wheelchair to go to the bathroom.
Yesterday morning she had to insist she be taken to the bathroom so she
could have a wash, one woman on the ward has been there for ten days  
sheets
not changed once, Chris informed a nurse that there is no toilet paper  
in
the bathroom, not our job was the reply so the patents had to use paper
towels until domestic services came round to clean the wards.
Chris has to ask for food that she can eat with a fork or spoon  
because no
one available to cut it up for her, she has trouble with her right hand
because of the tumour that is wrapped around her nerve in the arm.

Chris says the only nurse with any sense of duty has not long come out  
of
the army and is thinking of re-enlisting.

On another subject the husband of a patent once a very keen golfer now  
to
old and frail to play passed to young lads in the street with just two  
clubs
each, he talked to them about golf and gave them his name and address  
and
said pop round tomorrow morning and you can have my clubs for free.
The next morning about 6am the police where banging on his door (he  
thought
his wife had died), to cut a long story short the parents had  
contacted the
police with their concerns he said to the police if the parents are that
concerned they had my name and address why didn't they accompany the  
lads to
pick up the clubs, the police said "so it's a genuine offer" not  
bloody any
more its not.

Not only no care left there's no trust anymore
