i really think that this is so wrong i cant believe it but there are so many other hospitals that do similar things and have no care for there patients but they get away with it and the truth never gets told, its such a shame for the parents and familys.

~~~~... that's rough alright

[torchy]

nurses and staff dealt with the matter properly.There are too many drunks and druggies attacking members of staff.They have to think of there own safety.Yes its a shame but why should hospital staff waste there time on a drunk when a more serious case could be just around the corner.

[reddevil157]

I can appreciate the sh*te hospital staff have to go through, I've seen it,but would you be of the same opinion if it were your son. That was how I was looking at it.

If that was my son I would not leave him to walk the streets.I would of stuck by him and got him some help. Unlike some lowlife parents that could not give a damn where there kids are.Sorry red its just that a subject like this makes my blood boil.

Don't be sorry Torchy, we've all got an opinion m8, I would like to think when mine are that old, I wouldn't leave them alone either.

I'm with Torchy on this one. The Staff in the Hospital have enough to deal with without the scum of the Earth making it harder for them. It is a double tragedy for the parents as for all we know their Son could have went off the rails and cut all contact through choice. I believe in the law of the jungle when it comes to these matters, but they could have covered him up and taken him away in a trolley. Then threw him out with the rubbish!

would have to disagree with both of you. so you are trying to say that there was no point saving him or trying to help him??? in my eyes one person is good enought to save than the another person, yes he may be a drunk but that does not give the people in that hospital the right to do what they did, they should be ashamed with their selves!!!!

ok my take on this is, you only see the headlines shock horror etc. hospital staff have this every day, i worked as a mortuary porter for ten years many years ago and part of my job was working in casualty and it never ends its every day, most of the staff knew the druggies an drunks very well as i did, so maybe he came there a lot and slept off his binge. they can be a pain in the ass if they come when there's an rta and you get really sick off it believe me. ok put it this way if your neighbour was a piss head and he slept on your doorstep every night would you call the hospital, check his pulse, i dont think so.

Im with Torch on this one,

Snip from someone who posted on the sky news website..

Snip from the NHS site -

"If you are violent or abusive to NHS staff, you may be refused NHS hospital treatment, or given a verbal or written warning before treatment is withheld or withdrawn."

Rules are rules they cant be changed to suit diferent people. Why should someone put up with abuse from a self inflicted drunk for peanuts?? i certainly wouldn't. Infact i'd of told him to **** off it's that simple.

If the firebrigade where called to a burning building they wouldn't enter as it isn't safe.

Nurses should be the same.. verbal abuse and a fist should be the same as the above.

As for dragging the body, i'm not sure on this one?? so don't quote me on it..

Trying to approach a drunk in that state is a near impossibility. Yes it was wrong to leave him on the floor but why should the staff endanger there own life just to help a drunk. Rules are rules. Perhaps they should have phoned the police and had him put in a cell over night till he was sober.Just remember fireblade anyone in that state cannot be treated by any form of drug until completely sober.

[fireblade1]

yes i do agree with that mate, but why diddnt they phone the police?? does make you think thought??

Spot on fireblade security should have been called and they should have dealt with it. Not a Doctor,Nurse or any member of the medical team they do a great job saving lives.Someone to blame? blame security that is what they are there for and get paid to do to deal with violent or drunk patients.

totally agree with you torchy! as you said blame the security. would have been nice though if a nurse or a doctor went over to him and tried to see if he was ok if so inform security and then help him when he is sober or felling better?
