most are soley due to the fact that the generation of folke from 18-30 are utterly useless...

they take a bit of a nick to casualty...instead of giving it a good wash in peroxide and sticking a plaster on it...

they go crying to casualty cos the burned their finger end on a fag

then on top of that you have the vastly increased numbers due to drink and drugs....WHY we bother with them I dont know.....

AND its the same with food....

mrs went to the market t'other day ...paid 1.50 for a BRACE (thats two) pheasants

cos they were in feather and un gutted

the sellers cant get more for them ...because the "up and comming" generation are too bloody pathetic and idle to prepare their own food...

Its about time we had a meteor strike......

Yeah...and in my day, the soldiers used to walk home from the battlefield, and tend their own wounds with mud and a fence stake.

Whassmatter with kids today?!

are you being deliberately stupid in order to make some sort of point?????

oh yes its the govts fault (regardless of "political" shade) regardless of the fact that a HUGHE proportion of A&E visitors are there for trivia that they should be able to cope with at home...  minor injuries that do NOT need A&E  treatment and which at worst could wait till the next day if necessary and a trip to your pharmacist (who are NOW able to deal with minor things.)

and another huge slice are the drink and druggies...

christ on a bike I took a chunk out of my finger with a circular saw...It wasnt bone deep , but a good bite....
I dealt with it at home...I'm NOT waiting six hours in a queue of chavs, drunks and assorted dross to get that seen to....

but i forget...the liberalist "race to the bottom and race to total state dependancy"

No, I'm being sarcastic and ridiculing you.  In the end, that's just what you sound like.

what prat of the great bulk of A&E's time is spent on trivia that could easily be dealt with by the person "injured"

I'm NOT talking broken bones...
I'm not talking great chunks of missing flesh
or cardiac/breathing problems

but simple non serious cuts nicks bumps and minor burns...that do NOT need the attention of either a nurse OR a doctor....

The problem with emergency services is that you don't know if it is an emergency until you triage it.  Nobody knows what you have, including the physicians, until you look.  Your attempts to look for short-cuts is in fact disparaging that important part of medicine.

sorry Quill thats liberalist bull shit....I'm talking REAL trivia here...

cuts that only just manage to bleed...you know ...ouch i just nicked my finger end with that pen knife  
you...me and a lot of others go to the home 1st aid kit and stick a plaster on it and carry on

However there is an increasing level of incompetants that are incapable of making that simple decison and doing that...thus binding up A&E
and it IS a big problem...

I mean...seriously..if I went to A&E with every cut bump and so I  get ..on a daily basis ....as a carpenter...
I'd never be out of the place

tools can, and wil,l nick you...even at times cut you...wood gives you splinters...sometimes BIG pices of wood whack you
Its not unknown to half brain oneself standing up before removing head from under bench  DOH!!!...DAMHIKT.......

let alone thorns bramble and so on when out walking/shooting....

lets face it you DONT need to be a medical expert to know if a thorn or splinter needs medical as opposed to "Self" treatment...






If we took the same casual approach with your open heart surgery we would hear the screams.
