    a month or two earlier I'd certainly not have had the option, so what would my alternative to A&E been then?

    I don't know, the point is there other pathways now.

    OK maybe I wasn't quite accurate enough with my statement:

    Genuine question, I've always been intrigued as to why people turn up if even they think it's not an accident or an emergency…

    Broken wrist = accident
    Big hole in leg = accident
    Potential base of skull # = accident
    Myocardial infarction = emergency

    Broken false finger nail =/= accident or emergency
    Hair extensions too tight =/= accident or emergency

    Oxnop – still intrigued as to how you got a perfed eardrum from a blow to the head, how did you get hit? Should only get a perfed ear drum if you get a closed blow to the ear…..

    Oh and Penrod Pooch – **** off. If the patients need care they get it, if they attend with shite they get that too.

    Funnily enough just spotted a letter in 'The Journal' thanking me, the Nurses and Dr's at NGH for all there car when she tripped over a kerb. Guess we all must have been on an off day and showed some care.

    I'm not a medical doctor, but last time I checked my ears were on my head. 🙂

    Yes, read it properly. Only a direct closed blow to the ear or a base of skull fracture should cause a perforated ear drum. If it wasn't a direct closed blow over the ear then he has a base of skull fracture.

    God and someone said we don't care……
