Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

what? next you'll tell me
the announcer on the train is not actually saying mind the gap everytime the doors open?

 

I wish that dozy cow on the London Underground would learn to pronounce 'Highgate' correctly.

If you read what I wrote instead of doing your usual point scoring efforts, you would notice I wrote for routine things like a blood test or injection I get one. Not much to be negative about with those.But not after an appointment after 6 weeks waiting and seeing an associate not a doctor. Funny that. Not the only one at my surgery who has mentioned this.

 

Not as bad as the way the bitch says Holborn….sounds nothing like it looks…after 10
Years still winds me up to the point I avoid the pic line & go Victoria line to King’s Cross now. Maybe it’s time to move or retire lol

 

Nothing to do with the GP. It is down to the practice. Which since Humber Primary Care took it over, and amalgamated with two others in the town, has got progressively worse. What was once a practice I would have given 10/10 to was sold to an outfit which treated it more like a money spinning exercise and now we have one which is even worse in that regard. The doctor who is supposedly mine has been brilliant to me for best part of 20 years. Can’t speak highly enough of him. Probably wouldn’t be here if not for his intervention about 12 years ago. Now you cannot get an appointment with him. Which is not his fault. They are all only doing 3 day weeks and the ones in charge palm you off with associates after trying to fob you off with telephone consultations.

 

I've stopped replying to those sort of feedback requests. It's a total waste of time (just like that survey will be). Even when I've gone to lengths to give feedback that in the real world deserves some sort of response, I hear / get back nothing. It's pretty much always a tick box exercise and a way for normally well paid management & their teams to 'justify' their unnecessary existence. And that's from someone who's worked at fairly high levels of management for decades, not someone who unfairly has it in for anyone in management. There is so much waste in these organisations, and this sort of inane feedback gathering is nearly always part of that. Cut out the waste and put the money back into where the work actually happens, and into effective leadership.

 

It’s widely recognised amongst experts that one of the key problems with today’s NHS is that there is a chronic shortage of management across much of the estate. People who should be treating patients are filling in forms and farting about with arcane computers.

 

A shortage of management? LOL

 

You don't get these text messages with NHS Scotland,maybe they're fully aware of the response they'd get,considering they're beyond a ****ing joke and utterly incompetent?

I do however agree with those who are saying this is a needless project creating jobs for the boys with a healthy salary to boot...Get the money where it's needed the most,instead of flinging it at pen pushers!!

 

On Monday I got a letter from Cardiac Unit to say i've been put on the waiting list for my internal heart monitor. Next day I get another letter from them with Admissions as the heading, telling me I have to bring all my meds with me in their original boxes. Get to the end of the letter and where the time, date and ward to be put it was blank. So I phone Cardiac Unit and eventually get through and explain the letter and the problem. She apologies and says they don't send the letters out from there anymore and are posted from somewhere else and apologises again. Anyway, after all that i'm not being admitted yet, the letter should have been for an appointment for my assessment before i'm admitted on a future date. The assessment lasts an hour and then I go home.
I can't wait for the text asking what my experience was.
Oh yea, the assessments on 4th November at 1pm, can't wait.

 

Don't you have Patient Knows Best?

Will be thinking of you. Having another colonoscopy at exactly the same time. Rearranged twice. Wanted me in York at 7.45 . Told them I couldn’t get there for that time as there were no trains and didn’t want to drive with the effects of the laxatives you have to take day before.Dozy bint asked me why I couldn’t get taxis there and back. All this because they are now refusing to do colonoscopies at Brid hospital if you take blood thinners as if something went wrong they don’t have anyone on duty qualified to deal with it. The fact I had had one done not so long ago with no problems is irrelevant. Those are the new rules so it is York or Scarborough. Like 90:% of anything more serious than a splinter.

 

I do. But they don’t agree with that statement.

 

Is that the NHS App? The lass on the phone said I should go onto the App and I can access my details on there but when I tried to sign up I didn't have the correct I.D. for it.

 

I have it, and I know the contents of a hospital letter while it's still in the postal system, I know, I know.

Surely they could send you to HRI? Haven't need one of those for ages thanks ****, those laxatives certainly empty ya.

 

You need to ask them for an access code, you're notified in advance of letters being sent out, and can check previous appointments too. Best of luck to both of you.

 

Fortunately I have checked on there as I have had notifications on there but no letter have arrived. On other occasions I have had 3 letters about the same thing arrive. Probably because experts says they don’t have enough managers.

 

I've had duplicate letters arrive on the same day regularly.
