Law Stud Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Then why, might I ask, do you end up in an NHS hospital so often? Well I was in one yesterday because the hospital is a prospective new client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law Stud Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Now that is SO much bullshit. I've experienced the NHS through 5 differnt bowel surgery operations. I have also experienced one in the local BUPA Hospital (The Lees) and in an Australian Hospital (Gairdner Memorial, PErth) all related to the same issue. THe Aussie and CAmbridge public hospitals were excellent. The food in both could have been better, but the care and professionalism was excellent. Contrast that with the Lees, where the nurse in the so called "high dependency unit", willing as she was, didn;t have a fucking clue about acute post op care. WE can all do anecdotes Stuart. Mine just happen to be accurate. In your opinion. Mines is a statement of fact and record - record because it's been recorded in an official complaint to the local Heath Trust. Oh and if we are talking comparisons, my experience of Ross Hospital was that I was under the care an attention of the most respected Orthopedic Surgeon in Scotland - not some dafty doctor who has to phone a friend to find out what cellulitis is.

Law Stud Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 To move the topic on from Dickson's fantasy land, another aspect of this government which has contrasted with Labour is the stability. Its often understated, but considering it is a minority government, it really has been very stable! Overall, its never really looked threatened, despite Labour originally pledging to operate like a government in waiting, and we've had far less of the scandals, resignations, and reshuffles than blighted the Lib Lab years. I can recall the Sturgeon "scandal", which was not related to her job, and one reshuffle which left the cabinet unchanged. I think thats right? Contrast that to the Labour style of job hotseating, where people barely got a chance to sit down before they were moved on or dropped a bollock. Its a very commendable aspect of the government IMO, and one which doesn't get talked about enough. Hmm, someone has forgotten the Fiona Hyslop debacle, or Nicola Sturgeons scandal where she tried to intervene in the process of law to keep a repeat offender fraudster out of jail, or the scandal of handing out money to an unconstitutional SIF organisation to fund a festival that never happened, or the SNP fundraiser, funded at taxpayers expense. I could go on and on and on - but I don't want to wake you from your fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Obviously there's A&E, but given that Dickson seems to have been in NHS hospitals in excess of 20 times, he must either be very accident prone or is probably unfit to work and should collect incapacity benefit or something... He's a pipefitters stunt double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go on and on and on - but I don't want to wake you from your fantasy. Remind me of the number of resignations resulting from the Nicola Sturgeon "scandal"? In fact, not only have I not forgotten it, but I even mentioned it in the very post you quoted! I'll give you the Fiona Hyslop "debacle", although tbh I can't recall what thats for. So we have ONE demotion and ONE reshuffle. Remind me, how many of these scandals were actually real scandals? Was the SNP fundraiser "scandal" not cleared? Sturgeon's "scandal" was nothing to do with her job. The SIF "scandal" seems to have only been noticed by you, and consists of "funding given out", "funding not spent properly", "funding claimed back". I could go on and on and on, the Royal Footpaths "scandal", the winter chaos "scandal", the national train logo "scandal". Please provide more examples, preferably with web links. Nothing changes that this has been the most stable government we've had in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hyslop was chucked out the Education post for handling the class-sizes issue badly and because she threatened to take education out of local authority control in a wee temper tantrum in discussions about strategy.

It's more a marker of how incapable Ian Gray and Wendy Alexander have been in opposition. You can do your own hunting on Google as I've got work to do this afternoon but you should definitely have a closer look at the SIF story - it certainly wasn't just noticed by me....

If you want, we could even do a you and include the Westminster governments as well. So the Major governments, the Blair years, the Brown shambles, and two Lib-Lab admins. I make that 8 governments (including the SNP), and of that lot, the SNP has been the most stable. Agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
