The Doctor Posted 6 December 2011 Posted 6 December 2011 I didn't notice them, but yeah they probably do.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 6 December 2011 Posted 6 December 2011 I've got to be reading this wrong because you seriously aren't suggesting encouraging speeding & car crashes to create more patients for A&E? *considers this* No, no... that's almost certainly what Thracian's saying.
MPH Posted 7 December 2011 Posted 7 December 2011 That's right - because you're out of work you start supporting schemes that will get rid of other people's jobs. Perhaps the council should ban people dying and put the whole undertaking profession out of work. It's alright stopping the odd pedestrian getting flattened. But look at the consequences. Less work for doctors, nurses, hospital porters, catering staff, insurance policy salesmen, pharmacists, X-Ray technicians, dentists, laundrymen, taxi drivers, the list is endless. They may feel miserable at the time but road traffic casualties do so many people a favour. Bloody hell there's not enough jobs around as it is and you want to close A&E's perhaps even across the nation! You're just like the miners. They moaned like hell about their working conditions, the grim reality of long hours in cramped conditions down the pit, the ever-present danger of radon gas, the scourge of pneumoconiosis and all sorts of other ailments. Yet when Thatcher shut the mines and seemingly did them all a favour in getting them out of those hellholes, they grumbled even louder. Do you want an A&E department or not? Cos if you do, they need some sodding patients. Instead you'd prefer that Leicester City Council spend £100,000 so pissheads just get bumped and not knocked over when they jaywalk in the middle of the road. Well, quite apart from the jobs aspect, what will that teach em? Not that it's a daft thing to do because they end up in traction or worse. But that it's okay. That they can all walk in the roadway cos it's no big deal and no-one gets hurt! Get real. If there's not enough patients to fill the hospitals they'll have to import some more from abroad. And that'll mean more congestion in the streets, more pressure on the welfare system and more need for public service jobs. Bloody hell. What a clever idea by those wily old councillors! . Are you actually being serious? do you have even the slightest clue what you are on about? Every unit i worked in at the LRI was completely over worked and under staffed... the CICU lost five nurses the last year i worked there and there was no money in the budget to replace them. We had our budget cut every year i worked there... any less accidents now would only impact us in a way of being a slightly less workload... but think of it from the pedestrian who got flattened as you so callously put it... and as for the odd pedestrian getting flattened comment... your mindless comments are just beyond belief sometimes... I don't like to go on about it but my Last Job in England before moving to the states was working in the Children's intensive care unit... and that ' off pedestrian getting flattened happened to children too... One in particular is now stuck in a wheelchair for life.. brain damaged... wont ever be able to wipe his own bottom. EVER. I have lost count of those we tried to save and couldn't... As for that one we did save... there is of course no way of knowing the extent of long term permanent damage when they are brought in but that's a different argument altogether.But these are real people with real life changing events in their life and i really hope none of your relatives are ever in a bad accident like this.. Most serious injuries like the ones i just mentioned are by people going 30 & 40 mph. My point is this.... why do you bother even commenting on things you clearly know nothing about? You should stick to selling fruit.

You should stick to selling fruit. God help me if I ever end up at your place, if that's the limit of your observations. The clue's in the last line! As for your professional "advice" I don't sell fruit - and know plenty about trauma and brain damaged people, thanks.
