Bin chat, I went for the cheapest thing on Amazon for a tiny bin for my home office and got this. It came with 3 rolls of tiny  bin bags that fit it perfectly so instantly better than most other bins.

Fuckin hell dude. Glad you're ok. I've just spent the last two days with my mum in hospital too. Her blood pressure dropped to 75/49 and she started slurring her speech. Except she didn't tell me as I had a cold and didn't want to be a bother. My brother came up to visit and he dropped by her to say hello and she was there trying to act normal and unable to talk... loving parents! Her vision also went black and white in one eye 2 weeks ago and she didn't think it was important. Aaaaaaaaah. So 11 hours in a&e as a guy behind us yelled "YOU LIE!!! YOU LIE" for 6 hours straight and people just crying and wailing and screaming, walking around with screwdrivers in their hands, curled up on the floor flowing out the door. It's just so hosed even here and I can't imagine how much worse it is in NI. She's still in hospital and they don't know what's wrong. Seems she also stopped drinking water due to fear of incontinence. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's about 5 years ago but I don't think so. I think it's Multiple System Atrophy as everything lines up, including the parks meds not working. gently caress. I need a beer.

Darth Walrus posted:Well, dang. Guy with a machete up at our main city hospital (apparently no injuries so far, thankfully), the police have the entire complex under siege, and the office is in lockdown in case he decides to go after care staff a couple of miles away. Update on this - there was apparently no machete. Someone repeatedly phoned threats into the hospital, and it made everyone paranoid enough that when they saw a dude with a long metal object in the car park, they panicked and locked down the hospital. The guy who made the threats got arrested, but the car park guy (if he even existed) was probably some poor dude who picked the wrong time to walk in carrying a crutch or something.

Lucky his name wasn't Harry Stanley - shot dead by Met police because some member of the public reported an Irish man carrying a weapon - it was a chair leg that his brother had repaired earlier that day (and he was Scottish). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Harry_Stanley

crispix posted:*update* Glad to hear you got it sorted out, and that its not Scanners explodey terminal. And yeah, hearing horror stories about NI hospitals recently as well. My mum went into get her bloods done in our local NI doctor surgery last week, a loving 10-15 minute thing usually, and it took 2 hours 30 minutes to get seen. Receptionists just sat and mostly ignored everyone, and let some phone calls ring out. Absolute shambles, I remember the same place would have a rolling cycle of people coming in and going out constantly, mum says they seem to get everyone in at 8.30am and let them wait. Wee bit disappointed its not Scanner explodey happyhippy fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Feb 3, 2024 |

Checked in on the Kindle daily 99p deals, two books in today would probably suit UKMT types Abolish the Monarchy: Why we should and how we will https://www.amazon.co.uk/Abolish-Monarchy-Why-should-will-ebook/dp/B0BTVJLMJ1/ Attack Warning Red!: How Britain Prepared for Nuclear War https://www.amazon.co.uk/Attack-Warning-Red-Britain-Prepared-ebook/dp/B0B6HBX7V8/ Can't argue with a couple quid on a chance.

They will be rewarded and not punished as they should be.

Glad you’re okay crispix! That hospital experience doesn’t sound very nice like. The combination of boredom, fear, and the sights, sounds and smells of others in varying amounts of pain, distress and confusion really doesn’t make for a nice day (and night, and day, and night etc) E: ^^^ please god

NotJustANumber99 posted:But thats a founding principle of the NHS? I guess it depends how you interpret it, but I could easily see it as "everyone has to get health insurance, if you don't you get treated regardless but might be prosecuted or get a massive unrelated bill for not having insurance" which is, technically, free at the point of use. Alternatively cut healthcare services so that everyone who can goes for the private alternatives. Both systems exist in other countries.

Free at the point of use was originally a response to libertarian dickheads going "if free who pay doctor?" in the same way that some places have residential drinking water or municipal public transport free at the point of use. It doesn't say anything about the internal structure though, which can be private or public or familial or social or technocratic or volunteer based or whatever. It would be nice if Wes would clarify a bit more, but he will not.

Bevan's stated three principles of the NHS were that it be; comprehensive (that it meets all the medical needs of everyone), free at point of delivery and (as a confluence of the first two) that delivery was based on need, not ability to pay. Unfortunately it's quite possible to meet those (especially the 'free at point of delivery' one) while also turning over the unstated principles that it be a single-payer system funded and provided through general taxation. Especially if you're a devious weasel in hock to private healthcare interests like Wes Streeting.
