I think that the consultant could have a look for a bed itself, Twellsy. Bed allocation is usually done by folks specifically paid to do this, not members of the clinical team. I hope that you are found more comfortable lodgings and wish you a speedy recovery, mind xx
I am back in my side room in peace
He is quite lovely African gentleman and took great notes of my blud and other problems all the time he was listening to the bag of cats in my chest
Pore Twellsy.
But since it can’t be terribly convenient for the nursing staff to have you and everything you are attached to parked in a corridor and constituting An Obstacle, then I doubt they put you there for the sport in it. Which doesn’t make your stint as An.Obstacle any pleasanter for you, I do realise.
Well I am not an Obstacle now I am promoted to the deserving sick old bat
The man who was given my room was moved to a new corridor after I showed the phlebotomy nurse our Chatelaine’s cartoon about wearing masks and underwear with bits hanging out over the top
Don’t remind me! When I was in hospital, there was an ongoing war between the bed managers; one of them basically refused to let her ward’s spare capacity be used by anyone else. It came as something of a surprise to learn that there was any “spare capacity”. Absolutely nothing to do with public hospitals also taking private patients, of course…
And here some wards are only taking COVID-19 positive patients putting extra strain on the country’s winners of the waiter’s on trolleys award every day
Closing 3 hospitals and putting all their patients into one not big enough for the job hospital was never going to work
As for the Clinic it’s trying to get the backlog of normal patients cleared so any patients with respiratory symptoms that might be COVID-19 are funnelled to the plague pit
