Sending them home if they won't be able to manage their problems there will just bounce them back to the NHS in short order.PhD scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653179299453839890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646672781891265261.post-86638063008796067572007-11-29T13:56:00.000+00:002007-11-29T13:56:00.000+00:00Couldn't they make the stay a little...less comfor...Couldn't they make the stay a little...less comfortable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646672781891265261.post-28576227732062856872007-11-29T09:00:00.000+00:002007-11-29T09:00:00.000+00:00sign the discharge papers, call security, and if y...sign the discharge papers, call security, and if you can, get them a taxi/bus voucher...that's how we used to do it back home...AMiBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630556503449531761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646672781891265261.post-20517875214304564222007-11-29T00:37:00.000+00:002007-11-29T00:37:00.000+00:00Last year I had clinic at a medical department, wh...Last year I had clinic at a medical department, where I had a consultant specialised in Geriatric-medicine as my supervisor. At that time we also hade some challenge with, no empty beds or space for patients. <BR/>Even though some of the doctors where rambling around a little bit faster than there usual. My consultant just said in the same came voice as she always had, that we still should make an proper examination of patients, now matter how tight it became. But in your example, I guess that the patient has been thru the usual examinations.<BR/>If I may ask, have they threatened to close down the hospital?<BR/><BR/>I hope it will turn out all well for your patient and the number of beds.<BR/>If it is any comfort to you, it may well be a result of yours care. that makes him to stay.Prohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571519631436901475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646672781891265261.post-84130289519473498422007-11-28T22:43:00.000+00:002007-11-28T22:43:00.000+00:00dr_dyb yup - the ward has just been refurbished, a...<B>dr_dyb</B> yup - the ward has just been refurbished, all side rooms have their own bathrooms and all other bays have 3 beds and a bathroom.<BR/><BR/>Most of the side rooms are taken up with c diff or MRSA patients but some people just get lucky.The Little Medichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743228690074334742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646672781891265261.post-34093574106504362562007-11-28T22:32:00.000+00:002007-11-28T22:32:00.000+00:00Own room, private bathroom....do we study medicine...Own room, private bathroom....do we study medicine in the same NHS?<BR/><BR/>You only get one of them if you have C diff or MRSA up here.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329448556395742786noreply@blogger.com
