Went for a biek ride this morning and - about noon - came across a lady lying on the grass at the side of the canal with a blanket over her
She had been knocked down by an excited dog and had landed on her knee - which she now couldn't move without extreme pain
I stopped to see if I could help
They had already rung for an ambulance - the current wait time was
ELEVEN HOURS
so it is currently 9:30 p.m. and it has been dark for a few hours
and it was cold out of the sun today
she will still be there lying at he side of the canal and will still have another hours and a half to wait
This is what you get after 12 years of Tory misrule
the problem with social care not being able to put in place resources to get people out of hospital has been around for many many years and has been getting worse and worse
and they have been ignoring it
I know people who work in the NHS and people who used to work there
and they have been seeing this coming for many years
I know the pandemic hasn;t helped - but it has only exagerated something taht should have been fixed years ago
still - at least the economy is looking good!
sorry - rant
but I felt so useless not being able to help the poor woman - I made a few suggestions and got a few nearby people to do a few bits to help
but I just felt - and feel - helpless
