You are dead right Wynonie, to much time wasted on paperwork and not enough on the patients, not the nurses fault the system is far to top heavy, and to much time has to be spent comprising reports so the powers that be can tell Joe public how well the health service is performing.
As anyone who knows me on this site will tell you, I have had excellent service off the system and my life saved three times, I have also had plenty of time to study it whilst lying helpless in bed for hours on end, during specialists rounds there is an army of hangers on that last aprox half an hour, then the rest of the day you hardly see anyone. There are no juniors or learners there to give you a moment or two distraction from the boredom, and if you are miles from home as I was a week is a long time between visits, the health service is too fragmented and specialist are few and far between, 1 lung specialist for East Lancs one heart specialist etc all at different locations that is the cause of the problem, to many chiefs and not enough Indians. Getting back on thread I repeat my opening statement that speech will judge the man "I did what George Dubya Bush told me to do".
