Thread: Went to Beaumont hospital yesterday with Quincy (google it) I had a gp referral and was going under duress because I’ve heard not great things. I arrive early afternoon. The waiting room is packed, standing room only except for a seat beside the door which I take. The
Waiting room is full of many people,some obviously sick, but some heading off to Starbucks for iced coffees and being called over and over for half an hour while they get their coffee (leaving everyone else waiting) meanwhile my airway is starting to swell
I’m in absolute agony and have a roaring temperature. I wait for the guts of two hours beside a door which is opening and left open every 2 minutes by all the smokers (who also miss their call and delay things) after two hours I get called in and to be fair the initial care is
Excellent, I get fluids and antibiotics and steroids really quickly. My throat needs to be lanced open so that happens after an hour more. After getting my throat lanced open I sit on a chair spitting horror into a bucket for 16 hours. I’m told there are no beds available in the
Hospital. About an hour ago I’m told I’m going to the ward, I’m ecstatic. I feel lousy and need to lie down badly. When I get to the ward it’s another room of chairs, I recognise a woman sitting there who left the ED hours ago. I decided that my health is actually more at risk
Sitting in a chair for another 8 hours with no sleep and in agony, so I signed a waiver and left. One of the most pressing concerns during the last day was whether I had vhi. But why should vhi be charged for me when I’m getting the same unbelievably crap treatment every one is
Anyway, moral of the story is I’d rather die in my bed at home than in a chair, I’m glad we pay such high tax rates, the services we get in exchange are positively 3rdworld, and I’m excited the new government whoever they are to fix this mess, I’d honestly treat a sick dog better
