There were nurses looking after 15 PATIENTS. And everyone was rushing round. I went up to a Dr and asked him about my neighbour, and he advised me that they had a patient in Cardiac arrest.
When l went up to the ward. There were 6 patients in the ward - there was ONE Dr covering THREE WARDS.
These Drs should not have to put up with the crap that Hunt is forcing upon them.
IF you have a dr working FIVE days, you cannot expect them to work SEVEN days on the SAME wage.
Its just stupid.
And l cannot even imagine that Drs would leave a patient who needs vital help, to go off duty. If another Dr wasn't there. Patient Care is paramount to them.
Like the Fireman who went on strike, and there was a major accident. They went to help.
What Hunt and May are doing is wrong. May should be ordering HUNT to sit round a table to the early hours if necessary to sort this problem out.
But, what l think Hunt and May are doing is trying to force the Junior Drs, into a scenario where the public will get on the back.
But that wont happen.
