watching the channel 4 documentary, the hospital, it fucking amazes me how many people end up in a and e due to either themselves or someone else drinking too much and causing injury. i myself have never been in such a situation (touch wood) and it never occurred to me to just how much time and money is wasted on idiots like this.

I've known friends end up in A&E after nights out, nothing as serious as what was on that program though - normally the lads in silly fights :rolleyes:
bar diazepam i cant think of any times any of my mates have ended up hospitalised
drink on the other hand .. know lots of people! mostly from fighting...
I have nursed quite a few who have come in due to drink/drug related injuries also had a few on critical care due to being completely knocked out in fights/stabbed etc.
Some of those times I was drunk, some of those times I was sober.
But never simply because I've drank too much or done too many drugs. I've never got myself so wasted I've passed out or injured myself .
I never really thought about how annoying it is for the staff at the hospital, as it's their job, however, from watching that programme I do now sympathise with what they have to put up with, especially when they end up being assaulted.
On the other hand, maybe they just need to lighten up a bit.
And that girl's foot was pretty messy, but she made herself look a bit of a dick on television.
Really?
As far as I coudl make out it wasn't her fault. Somebody had thrown something at a car which then reversed suddenly and ran her over.
Yeah but she was wasted and so wasn't very aware of what was going on around her.
Anyway, I didn't mean it was that which made her look a dick. I know she was only making a joke out of the situation which I would have done too, but when the camera crew mentioned it was a costly night for her, she was like hahaha I only spent £20, pretty cheap really.
The fact that she was drunk, and ran over by a car, and then made that comment on television just made her look a dick head imo. But I think her lesson has been learnt, she was pretty upset by the whole thing and the fact she won't walk well for a few years.
You've two stories mixed up. That was the other woman. The one who'd stepped out infront of a taxi, suffered internal bleeding, and was given 10 times the amount of Ketamine she should have recieved resulting in heart stopping for 11 minutes.
The one who suffered the foot injury was drunk but it wasn't her fault, and if I remember correctly she was crying about not being normal again to her mum. Very sad I thought.
Either way I thought she was ran over by something and was drunk. I didn't hear anything about whether it was her fault or not.
yeah i was just thinkin the same thing. i assume the guy who miscalculated the ketamine dosage was fired? because they blurred his face out?
also thought it was incredibly brave of the family whos son died, to agree to let the footage of him be shown on the programme.
No they weren't fired, and it wasn't mentioned he was. They played it down in the programme if you noticed but with Adrenaline and CPR managed to get her back. It was 10mg of Ket in a ml and they gave 10mls given when they only wanted a ml.
Yeah it's a serious mistake but when things are so hetic and orders are being shouted it's easy to see how a mistake like that could occur.
But my good friend who was on night out got stabbed and instantly died from a friend who was on drink+coke binge now serving at least 20 year jail.
:angel: R.I.P GILLY:angel: Gone but never forgotten.
Your friend was killed by his own friend?
I'm not drinking for a long time after last night, I have spent the morning concentrating on trying not to be sick and I think one of my toes has broke
Yeah he was i know disgusting that what 3 day coke binge does to you.
Aww are you ok?
I did a thread about in law section bit ago.
When my dad was in last year we sat in a + e from 7pm until 2am and some of the states that came in were unbelievable. There were three young lads who were separately admitted. All had obviously been hitting the pop far too hard and were all sleeping when brought in. When they were finally brought round they were abusive to the nurses and one got quite agressive as he was freaking out at having a pipe put into his arm.
I just sat there and realised what a waste of these people's time it was looking after the ungrateful tossers. There were people in that ward who were very ill, old, scared, having emotional problems etc and deserved being looked after. Then the families turned up. Well buggered if they didn't turn up, swan round, wail about their sons state and then mouth off at anyone who happened to be wearing a uniform that their poor creature hadn't been looked after properly :rolleyes:
i can imagine. ungrateful fuckers.
Went with a mate when her heart went funny (she has a heart condition)after taking an e. I was proper battered with my carryout in the hospital.
But i have seen what it can make people do to others or them selfs, and it scares me just to think that it could be me running into that person after hes had a drink to many :no:
