I feel for these nurses. The ER they needs beds, and the nurses on the floors , don’t want to put their sick patients on the street. The NHS is in a pickle too. They need money to build more rooms or hospital extensions which means more taxes in the country where people pay extremely high tax rates already. In the US, no insurance, they send you a charity or county hospital who also have no rooms. I have insurance, but it does not pay 100%, God forbid you need a ambulance. No insurance, call the ambulance they will pick you up and take you home. I can’t afford to pay for it. Healthcare is a huge problem all over. And I have no answers. It’s so sad!
It's hard to think that in the US if the average income person has a major accident and no insurance it is usually a bankrupt situation. Medical costs are causing people to be homeless.
I feel for all the workers at the NHS and in our American, insurance controlled for profit system.... I can only imagine the pressure as I know it's underfunded and under staffed there and here. NYC nurses are threatening a strike in January 2023 and I am 100% behind them. I have a question...is it this nice at the NHS when the cameras aren't watching? Or is it like here in big city America...where we are MOSTLY just another number and every patient (and the patient's family) has/have to very often fight for the care and respect we deserve? And, also very often, the lower down we are on the economic scale, the harder we must fight? Just an example: Walk up to the nurses station (the hub?) with a question and they are so stressed and over worked one must beg get their attention as they attempt to avoid eye contact at all costs? OR MD's really enforce the Hippa rules so as not to have to take time explaining to next of kin caretakers, who have not yet signed on the dotted line?
And things happen unspoken and unexplained....mistakes injurious or worse... if a patient can't eat on their own they may not be fed... in nursing homes aids have 10-15 minutes at most to tidy up an elderly patient in diapers...an impossible task in many cases... Patients come out of hospital covered in small pustules or full blown bedsores because again if they can't keep themselves clean there is just no one and/or not enough time to do it properly. I have experienced all the things I speak of and it's unacceptable.
I’m in Australia and while our public hospitals are free our ambulance service is not. If you have private health insurance ambulance service is usually covered by that. You can just pay a yearly fee for ambulance cover which is what I do, being on a pension I pay $50 a yr but if I didn’t have that cover a trip to the closest hospital which is only 8mins away would cost me $1,500. Is ambulance service covered by the NHS ?
In Denmark healtinsurance is free. And it should be. Ambulances is free. In Denmark we help eachother by paying an high tax. And still Denmark is a rich country.
Yes at moment our ambulance service is free in the U.K. but our health care is in crisis and the government ain’t listening so it wouldn’t shock me especially with the government if they start charging for ambulances etc x
@@mistybehave4886 our public hospitals are in crisis as well. A very long waiting list for non urgent surgeries, if it’s an emergency it’s pretty good, in the last 3 yrs I’ve had a brain tumour removed, my thoracic spine fused and more recently my cervical spine fused, the longest I had to wait was 2 wks. Big shortage of nursing staff though, there’re run off their feet. A lot of after care appointments are now by phone, you can still have a face to face consult with a GP but since Coronavirus started that’s become less frequent and Drs clinics have raised their fees. I have iron transfusions every 3 mths and 2 yrs ago they were free but now cost $200. I’ve been seeing the same Dr for 30yrs and I’m lucky that he only charges me the Medicare rate, goodness knows how pensioners can afford to go to a Dr and many aren’t taking medication as they can’t afford it. If the government doesn’t do something we’re going to end up like the USA and I hope like hell I’m not around to see that.
I obviously feel horrible for the women with leukemia, I just wish she'd realize the heels may be what's causing the numbness, tingling, and or pain in her back or legs.
@@Sarah-dw9en volunteer Jane? She's so loud and boisterous, how are the poor patients supposed to get any calm or rest? I cannot stand her. I like nurse Jane, she wants to get stuff done
@@rivernymph84 Havent you seen how the patients interact with her, especially the old dears ? Give me that anyday over sitting quietly on my own been frightened to death worrying about whats going on.
It’s like this here in the US too and Covid made it even more horrible and under staffed and under paid and over overworked staff. Our healthcare here is so bad and don’t have a chronic condition because if you can’t afford treatment you might as well wait to die.
Paul's wife looks very, annoyed at him .

Hello
Yes! No Jane! She's so annoying
You just dont understand her humour, someone like her is needed in A&E.

Why do the goverment not provide more beds 🥹
Så sad to see the impact this situation bring to the staff and patient.
