General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Angelwood This is the second time this year Yvonne has been admitted to the hospital. She was 1st admitted in August and it was bad then, she was on a trolley in a corridor from being admitted at 2-00 pm on Mon till getting a bed at 7-30pm on a Tues. Yesterday there was a lot of internal upheaval and the nursing staff god bless them were not happy with the constraints placed on them by I gleaned was by a person in a ivory tower who had no medical experience. I over heard a couple of nurses threatening to go home because of the constraints they were being asked to work under. There had been a meeting and the triage nurses were only allowed to do certain things and the ambulance crews also could only do certain things An ambulance woman was walking around with a clip board trying to co-ordinate with the ambulance crews and the triage nurses has to when patients got seen tooI could have bee mistaken but the triage area was closed down for nearly two hours and the waiting time in A&E walk in area was 12 hours. Whilst we were waiting an ambulance crew from SHEFFIELD brought a patient in from a WIgan area nursing home .God help any one who needed an ambulance in a hurry there were at least 10 ambulances parked up with the crews tied up in A&E when I left.
