You can't have been in need of much medical attention yourself if you had so much time to assess and judge everyone else around you, maybe don't clog the A&E nex time? 😂
My 3 week old baby was incredibly poorly. It’s really not funny.
Chickenpox doesn’t require to be diagnosed by a doctor. It doesn’t even need medical attention. In fact, you shouldn’t be in A&E with chickenpox. It is highly contagious and poses a significant risk to babies, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. Because I was attending A&E with a newborn, I was informed there was someone who had come into the A&E with chickenpox. But they couldn’t tell her to leave until she had been triaged. Let me repeat, she was in A&E because she had chickenpox, not because she had any complications of having chickenpox. My son was too poorly for me to leave A&E, and the staff were not happy about it at all. A complete a waste of NHS resources.
Similarly, “sprains” don’t require an x-ray. Certainly not when the child is weight bearing with no issue, or using their hand/arm. It’s pretty obvious when a bone has been broken. Someone who takes their child to A&E for a “sprain” is simply wasting NHS resources and creating longer wait times for people who do need to be seen.
that's just neglect and would be lazy parenting if anyone did that in the real world.
In the real world, treating a sprain at home is actual NHS advice. And common sense.
The OP is absolutely spot on when she says that people can’t to anything by themselves, or for themselves.
