30 October - The No Hope Service
My responsibilities at Lock’s Bottom have ended but with no Council meetings
until next week BiB is not likely to become any livelier than over the past few days.
I headed over to the hospital quite early this morning because I was under
instructions to buy food following a complaint that expecting edible food in the
PRUH was a forlorn hope. However at 10:05 a phone call said the patient was in the
Departure Lounge having been discharged but I should expect a short wait for the
medication to be handed over. The NHS definition of short is not mine. At 14:52
after five hours of neglect we were told that there would be no pills in the
foreseeable future and they would instead be delivered by courier later.
Ironically the doctor had said that the eight day stay in hospital was the
direct result of a GP failing to write a repeat prescription. How much
taxpayers’ money do these charlatans waste?
The clinical care in the hospital was rated good by the patient.
