----Original Message Follows---- From: Steve Meek <[log in to unmask]> Someone touched candidly on this subject a couple of weeks ago... --> Yes, a couple of weeks ago I sent in to the list my "vision" of the "new system". Even with my world-famous cynicism and expectations of this government which cannot be beat for theri pessimism, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THEY WOULD TAKE ME UP ON IT, i.e. I thought I was making it up... Seems someone beat me to it... I should probably give up on making up ridiculous comedy situations like this and leave it to reality... drydok >... and there is more on it on DNUK, including a short message from David Quinton (also read the orthopaedic forum - esp Simon Britten for a laugh). I understand that management are imposing a radical streaming system involving immediate triage to specialty and the staff being reallocated similarly (that would mean orthopaedics seeing 60, 000 minor injuries for example - setting up a purely musculoskeletal A&E department?). The ED consultants are leaving or have left. There must be several people on this list who know the full details. I am sure I am not alone in wanting to hear accurately what is happening. Can anyone enlighted me?
