Image result for Treliske night

Just spent 7 hours in the Emergency Room with a friend who had signs of heart problems. It's not a place you want to be at 3am in the morning, when the only people out are police, taxis, pissheads and loonies. The latter two were also in the emergency sector - one rocking and crying, tother yanking his cannula out, leaving gore over the loo. Another guy left his bloody footprints over the corridor -staff panicking over whose job it was if they couldn't find a cleaner. Detritus everywhere. Not the fault of the hospital - more the fact that they are cash-strapped and starved of time. Friend was at end of tether but managed to get test results back and checked herself out

Members of the public can be a scary lot at times. Thankfully, I zoned out and she slept for a lot of it. Now back in bed, hoping to catch some zees before starlight becomes daylight.

Scary! And yes, the ER is not the place to be at that time of the night. I have done that run before and it's not fun.

It's grim, to say the least. I have sone this run several times with my folks in various shapes and forms, so am a bit old hat at this.

No one deserve to spend any more time at the ER - it's an exercise is awfulness.

Hey are you ok? And how is your friend?

Friend is at home and hasn't long woken up - is having a double appointment with the doctors for further tests. I'm fine, thanks for asking - very tired and have to visit yet ANOTHER friend in hospital. This one has had to have an emergency procedure and we are supporting her husband at the moment :-/
