crispix posted:my dear aunt who stood in as my grandparent has been in hospital since the very start of the month and while not surprising, it's shown me first-hand how broken health and social care is NI  it’s a loving disgrace not only the condition the health service is in but the fact that any time it comes up it’s described as “on the brink” or “at breaking point”. It’s not, it’s already collapsed and for a huge number of people it functionally no longer exists.

The NHS is in a scary state at the moment. A good online disabled friend of mine recently found herself in ICU after a heart attack. On her last day in ICU she was listed, without her consent, request or knowledge, that she was DNR. She only found afterwards when she was able to access her notes about the visit. Every attempt to find out how she was listed like that and who authorised it has been met with brick walls and disconnected phonelines. She's finding that reversing this status for any potential future trips is proving difficult. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jan 18, 2024 |

I would advise her to really push on this via formal complaints etc. Might be worth talking to the press etc. Also you can often get a lot out of a freedom of information request - while they can redact certain things and be very awkward they are legally obligated to provide the material, and as far as I can remember the cost isn't super excessive.

Failed Imagineer posted:I'm going to be brave and state that I'll be able to lol at pretty much any outcome from this election I'm no Irishman but, yeah, I think actually any result will be hilarious. Starmer gets a massive majority? Hilarious because gently caress the Tories. Starmer does not get a massive majority? Hilarious because of all of these mental predictions, and also gently caress Starmer. I think the funniest result might be a hung parliament in some configuration, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Every attempt to find out how she was listed like that and who authorised it has been met with brick walls and disconnected phonelines. I don't work in acute medicine, but my understanding is that a DNR is a valid thing to add to someone's file if it's felt that the medical intervention to resuscitate someone would result in them having a significantly poorer quality of life if the resuscitation is successful. That should be discussed with a patient if they're able to have a discussion, or their next-of-kin if not. I don't know what the situation is with your friend, mind. But we know that some doctors don't bother following the rules and feel that they know best and are entitled to do things in a patient's "best interest" because of their level of knowledge and specialism. We also know that some doctors find it borderline impossible to admit when they've made a mistake. Whatever the reason the DNR was put on your friend's file, they should be able to find out some details. If PALS isn't working out, maybe see if your friend has a Tory MP who'd kick up a stink for a chance to stick a knife in the NHS.

Unkempt posted:Any idea what all these people are like? I live in Lincoln: a swing constituency. Our most recent Labour MP was Karen Lee, who was a staunch SCG member and lost her seat in 2019. This is why the Labour Party are now running Hamish Falconer — Lord Falconer's son. He's a former civil servant who once lead the home office counter terrorism response team.

A hung parliament would be the funniest option because then Keith has to go begging the other parties for support. Ironically a Lab-Lib coalition is the least worst outcome there. I mean obviously Lab-Green would be better but you know the piss diamonds will see their numbers swell undeservedly this time around, even if the Greens pick up some seats.

Because they're flat out not allowed to be used on the mainland, at least England and Wales.

Always expect the most boring option: in this case, a solid but not spectacular majority for Labour, which they roundly fail to do anything with.

My friend is chasing it all up and has healthy local friends who are now assisting, so she will get to the bottom of it. I get to hear a lot of bad experiences about the NHS from friends, but this recent one sent shivers down my spine. I don't see it as a fault of any individual, but rather the collapsing and broken system.

On the converse of that, about 80% of people support assisted dying now, up from about 40% a decade ago. Not that the government is likely to do anything about that (other than charge you with chemical weapons offences if you try). crispix posted:yeah seems society breaking down just causes people here to go on strike and have a bit of a grumble, you need to say something about a flag to get a good riot going
