Re: are these "videos by charlatans"? Archived Message Posted by Mary on January 11, 2021, 10:09 pm, in reply to "are these "videos by charlatans"?" I will take Dan's view of the situation. He is, after all, at the coalface. I used to work at the local DGH until I retired. When I was there, there was a feeling of optimism and cheerfulness in the air and the staff were generally happy in their work and liked working in a team. I had the feeling that now things had changed when I attended phlebotomy for a blood test last week to ascertain whether thyroid cancer had returned. I had an appointment so sat and waited with twenty or so others. Some were outpatients and some had been sent from other departments. There were just two phlebotomists on duty so I had a wait of over two hours. The good staff members looked stressed and worn out. It is not fair on NHS staff to be working under these conditions day in and day out. PS Thankfully I do not have cancer which had been indicated by the interpretation of an ultrasound scan following an injection of radioactive material into my neck. The radiologist who made the wrong diagnosis was probably overstretched and working under constant pressure. There is a shortage of radiologists anyway. Apart from the time and resources used you see that money has been wasted.
