As someone who has been in the hospital every single month of 2024 (and 2025) it scares me to see how bad hospitals have become. It was already bad, but last week I spent nearly 8 hours in an ambulance, waiting for a bed for my mother. It's unreal.

Hospitals are in such a bad way. When I have injuries these days, unless it's life threatening, I don't bother going. Labour obv gonna use this as a launching pad for more and more privatisation but I continue to hope folk will fight against it
I get what you mean. Had a bad spell late December and it wouldn't have done anyone any good for me to join my mum in there, so kept it to myself. It's just a lot to deal with it. Funnelling all the time I have into being creative as much as I can right now.
Yesterday, I visited my mom and had to squeeze my way down a corridor that had 8 beds in it because there was simply no more room in the wards. I talked to a nurse who has been working 60hrs a week and looks exhausted. Something needs to change.
