I'm not happy with the NHS my wife has been waiting since last November to see an Orthorpedic specialist two week ago they cancelled her appointment at our small hospital so what is this specialist doing now don't tell me they are on the frontline also all the cancer appointments being cancelled, not impressed one bit, like the Prof says get all the corona patients in the Nightingales and the hospitals can operate normally, if they ever can,

Whats the problem I've asked three questions in my post, 1, cancelled appointments, 2, cancelled operations, 3, re-deployment of hospital staff,, I've not even mentioned corona virus I'm concerned about the folk who are not getting the treatment they deserve ,
I'm just glad your brother was seen at the Glenfield much better than my mates wife being told to leave the Royal,I thought that the best way to answer your concerns might be to forward your post to the Nursing Sister near us who is still busily working in RUH Bath Oncology. Or perhaps the Haematology consultant at Leicester Glenfield who saw my brother two and a half weeks ago. And who required to see him in a further two weeks. And that appointment was held too. But they are too important to be bothered with such moans.
My brother is classed as EV, has COPD, a lung embolism, cardio-circulatory problems and liver issues. Perhaps your mate's wife is in slightly better health.I'm just glad your brother was seen at the Glenfield much better than my mates wife being told to leave the Royal,
I have heart failure, atrial fibrillation and COPD, these conditions were diagnosed by various specialists and I receive medication for them, along with the medication for thyroid gland function replacement because the gland was removed last October because it was cancerousI'm just glad your brother was seen at the Glenfield much better than my mates wife being told to leave the Royal,
Hello DustyThe A419 link between M4 and M5 has been extremely quiet again today. Even the HGVs are few. In the local High Street still very quiet. Shops only allowing one or two in at a time.They are small 😎. I see in today’s papers there are some saying lift the lockdown and don’t listen to the boffins. Someone tell me who the hell I should listen to please😲😲😲

WhatI do know Parky is that I have aIf you listen to news reports or read newspapers you'll see that
1: Routine non emergency hospital appointments have been cancelled because NHS staff are stretched to the limit treating Covid 19 (Coronavirus) patients.
2: Non urgent surgical procedures have also been cancelled for the same reason.
3: Hospital staff including orthopaedic specialists have been redeployed because the NHS doesn't have the spare capacity to deal with the present health emergency and to deal with normal out-patient cases and planned surgery as well.
Cancer patients are being advised by their oncologists about their treatment at present.
Anyone who suspects that they may have some form of cancer or any other serious condition because of recent symptoms should seek immediate medical advice.
There is no problem Camel, if you genuinely didn't know these things you do now.
If you simply pretended not to be aware and posted to provoke a forum reaction I strongly advise you not to.
- That sort of thing is known as 'flame baiting' and is against forum rules.

I'm pleased for your friend that he had the treatment and care the NHS can offer and I hope the radiotherepy is successful, but you have no need to mention what covid19 can do I have been reading the Mail everyday for the last two month, once again I hope your friend makes good progress,A very good friend of ours had surgery two months ago to remove cancer, 1/3 of his tongue and all his left side neck lymph nodes. He is now into week four of a six week every day radiation programme at Churchill Oxford. Just shows the real cancer threat patients are being dealt with exactly as they deserve.
The NHS staff are doing a fantastic job putting their own lives on the line. Have you seen how many have died ?
Be under no illusion Camel Covid-19 is one mother of a serious killer. Well done the NHS cancelling non urgent appointments yet carrying on with all the real life threatening cases like my friend. Seems a very good call to me👍👍

That's not really what Dustydog wrote though Camel.Just seen your statement, "Well done the NHS for cancelling non urgent appointments" well said Dusty Dog,
OC,Yesterday my brother was contacted by Leicester Glenfield following two lots of tests and scans over the last month. The specialist told him that he required an angioplasty in his legs to improve blood circulation. He is down for the procedure in the very near future but he will be checked for coronavirus and must take his EV isolation seriously. The specialist described the hospitals approach for segregating Covid and non Covid patients and staff working with those patients. My brother has agreed to go ahead with the procedure as without it the options are grim.
CamelOC,
I'm just glad that the Leicester Hospitals are doing other proceedures and the Glenfield is a good place to be if you need treatment, I hope you brother is ok with the treatment he needs and allgoes well,
Next Tuesday we will brave a 200 mile drive to north Devon to sort out my mum. She was taken to hospital two days ago with a suspected stroke. Taken home the same day and cared for by the Pathfinder team at her own home last 48 hours. Excellent reaction and forward planning by the NHS, If we are stopped by Police we have been told to refer them to the hospital who will confirm our journey is essential. Now that is excellent intelligent service. Clearly they have triaged what is and what is not life threatening.
