Vam:
Hope Amelia feels better soon, It's horible when the little are hurt like that.

Have to say our experience with Hospitals is varied, Alex then aged 5 was taken in by ambulance with severe Croup.  Paramedic got to  the house whilst we were still on the phone, he thought he was going to have to to a tracheotomy at first.

Scary time, though typically by the time the ambulance had got us to the hospital he was absolutely fine.

We then had a 6 hour wait,  as loads of pxxxxd up teens were being admitted and treated first, yes I know they are a prority (as were we) but it is frustrating. We eventually got seen at 4 am.

Cams been in during the day (various objects in various oriffices   :shock: ) and we've been in and out in a couple of hours.

Adults it seems, always have longer to wait

Can't fault the treatment, but try to avoid the evening shifts  :twisted:

I do hope Amelia gets better soon. It's heartbreaking when things like this happen to children.

Lots o people faint due to rapid change in blood pressure.

She's home (at 16:00), eating chocolate & watching 'Dora The Explorer', if she can eat chocolate there's nothing seriously wrong :wink:

Colin 009:
Good hear she home and hope all goes well, :)

A couple of years ago my gas boiler decided to try and kill me. After collasping on the floor managed to get to the phoneto call amblance, then got up to  get the front  door open,

After been taken to A&E they then got me in another amberlance and was taken to a private hospital in St Johns Wood that has a chamber for treating the Bends. Spent saturday night in chamber with a couple of nurses and then in the morning teated to a 5-star breakfast. How much this treatment cost I dont know, just glad it was there.

Bush Tucker Man:
Helen, I guess that was a worrying time for you (Nominated for 'Understatement Of The Year' there)

I know exactly what you mean about the drunken louts (to put it mildly!) that infect A&E's across the country.
Sadly it's 'Catch 22' with them.
Do you make them sit & wait, potentially causing chaos?
Or see to them & kick them out of the door in record time (preferably attached to a Policeman :twisted: )

One of our Nurses was smacked in the face & throat a couple of weeks ago on nights & the assailant is probably going to jail, unless she's got a 'Bleeding Heart (on Legal Aid) Lawyer'
"Poor little Sally had a deprived childhood M'Lord, she's not responsible"

And the Magistrate says; "Bo**ocks! 2 months in Jail"
That's the way to do it :lol:  

Colin; Hyperbaric Chambers are few & far between in this country, our nearest one for example is at Hull.
It was initially called the bends due to the position assumed by most people on its onset, first encountered by Caisson Workers in Victorian times
Caissons being the 'pressure chambers' used to dig the foundations under water for bridge piers.
They were pressurised to keep water from entering.

Colin 009:
Hi Richard, "Hyperbaric Chamber" thats the thing.

They said that if they one in London couldnt take me they wold have had to drive down to Portsmouth or was it Plymouth  :(

Dont fancy doing it again, so have carbon m. detectors all over the place now.
