My wife just spent four hours waiting in Urgent Care at the nearest hospital, on the advice of the NHS Maternity Service, because she's showing signs of preeclampsia. Can lead to fatal blood clots. She's a high-risk pregnancy.
Seen by an African nurse who barely speaks English, and makes multiple spellings errors in her notes and hospital letter.
After four hours of waiting, she's seen by a doctor — who tells her to make her own way to another hospital to wait in the Accident & Emergency department to get tested there instead.
Comes home and calls the hospital, who transfers her to a maternity service, also staffed by an African woman with an indecipherable accent, totally indifferent to the urgency of the situation. Tells her to come into the hospital and wait.
We went to this same hospital months ago, when we thought she had miscarried. Took seven hours to see us, and after telling us twice we had probably lost the baby, they did an ultrasound which showed she was fine. Somehow, they managed to miss A SECOND BABY with the ultrasound, though.
So now she's in A&E for another few hours, either for a life-threatening condition that's getting worse while she waits, or for something a quick scan and an Aspirin prescription will fix in moments.
No wonder maternal mortality has increased.
The incompetence, inefficiency, waste, and negligence in NHS maternity services is astounding. It's not just strain on the system from demand: it's that frontline staff are not compassionate or qualified.
Nobody seems willing to criticise this because it's mean, but so many people who interact with NHS services have a bad story.
It doesn't have to be like this. I don't care what needs to change to make it work. Just make it fit for purpose.
Funny how the establishment suddenly remembers what borders are the second peaceful patriots show up, yet magically goes blank the moment thousands of military-age foreigners pour across.
@PlayStationDE Angebote können wir uns in Zukunft wohl abschminken, wenn ihr mit der physischen Welt nicht mehr konkurrieren müsst. Dann müssten wir auch noch zittern, wie lange wir unsere "Käufe" behalten dürfen. Nicht wirklich gute Werbung für eure all-digital Zukunft ohne Konsumentenschutz.
YALL gotta realize that Sony doesn’t give a fuck about this. What would hurt them is:
- stop buying digital games on PlayStation
- stop buying the new console
- stop paying for PS plus
- if you WANT to buy a game, look for second hand
1 weeks isn’t going to do shit.

"I'm not debating this with you."
"Of course you won't. All you know how to do is repeat things that people told you and say, 'Trust the experts!' That's what you did during Covid. Now we know that Anthony Fauci, who was the 'expert,' was lying about everything... now, you're rolling out the 'experts' again to talk about something that you have no personal knowledge of."
Asmongold says Republicans have power and refuse to use it
"I hate the Democrats more than anything. But I also hate the Republicans. I hate them because they have the power and they don't do anything with it."
"I am completely vengeful. I am totally vindictive. And the cruelty is the point. That is the point for me."
"The fact that they don't go after these guys and they just let them run wild is a disgrace. It's like someone has god mode turned on in the game and they somehow still lose."
