Re: The NHS is rediculous

It's a long time since I worked in A&E but it sounds like the walking wounded still have to wait whilst the major life threatening cases are dealt with first. These cases never see the waiting room but go straight into a treatment room or resuscitation if they are really critical.

The plan is that the new health centres being built will cater for some of the walking wounded, but we all know that some GPs won't do it, and some people will still turn up in A&E rather than go to the health centre.
