The grass is not quite as green due to the sunshine JohnC -----Original Message----- From: Danny McGeehan [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, 17 January 2000 11:50 To: [log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: Health Service Crisis Colleagues The NHS is in crisis and BAEM have totally lost the plot. The broad sheets and the DoH are full of the ITU lack of beds. However the greatest problem has been in A & E as we have no control and hence we bear the biggest brunt of the crisis. No beds in the hospital and no ITU beds and so the patients languish for days in A & E. We expect our leaders to represent us and serve our needs. As a consultant the last 2 years have been the worst of my professional career as the bed situation has deteriorated beyond the pail. Sorry chaps but we have missed the boat. My own opinion is that our speciality is probably being represented by too many academics but that is another story.
