Miss Z reports that people are leaving illnesses too long and coming in with really serious problems which would have been far easier to treat had they sought help earlier.
It's down to a many thing, yes wards are full, GPs are busy etc. etc.
Violence towards hospital staff has increased. Recently Miss Z had to stamp on a patient's relatives foot and punch him as he was grabbing on to her (very inappropriately) and pulling her back and wouldn't let go because she had left his relative to deal with a crash alarm elsewhere on the ward. She had said his relative was in no danger and someone else needed urgent care etc.
A consultant and other staff witnessed and congratulated her for restraint. The relative was escorted away by security staff and later arrested.
