Right about now, i'm really pissed off with the health system!!
Ok well here's the story:
My brother is skating home from uni, coming down my street (which is a hill, you get alot of speed on my skateboard), some fool has left a few Yellow Pages on the road, 30m from my house, my brother hits one, breaks his arm..... (this was between 10:30 - 10:45)
We get him to hospital at about 11:15pm, the doctors say he will be in the theartre and operated on within the hour, me and my mum go home, my dad stays. We get a call, not enough doctors, can't do operating tonight..... They said they should do it around 8:00am in the morning.....
My mum rings the hospital around 7:30, asks when he will be going into theatre, they say 2 hours...... Mum rings up in 2 hours to check up, they say another 2 hours, this goes on all day.....
They now say he won't be going into theatre until 10:00pm tonight..... He has a really bad fracture, his bones are over-lapping, and imagine how much mental and physical pain he has gone through waiting to go into theatre....
We are contimplating taking him out of R.N.S.H. and putting him in a private hospital!! I can't stand this!! Yes this effects me because I was gonna go out with my brother tonight, and me and my brother are fairly close... And whats even worse, in 7 weeks he is supposed to go on the U.T.S. snow trip, but might not be able to....
Farking hell he is gonna be mighty pissed off....
So what are your stories, and your experiences....
Oh and just got a call from out inside intel, they said there is a long emergency list at R.N.S.H. (probably just blisters and crap) but they will get to him....... If they can't think up any more excuses....
Cheers
