Yes, yet another visit to the ERI, Edinburgh, where, this time I ended up staying from Wednesday till Saturday last week. Quite an eye opener as usual and this time I was kept in the Acute Medical Unit most of the time. Place was going like a fun fare most of the time and as far as I am concerned the staff, Doctors and nurses alike deserve a medal. On arrival at the A& E, during initial assessment I could hear the usual carry on with some of the eejits waiting to be seen, they just walk in expecting everyone to listen to their cursing and blinding. In the good old days they would have been refused treatment and flung in the old cells at the High Street, and up at court the next day!! However we are so bloody politically correct these days it is unbelievable.
Turned out my Consultant was the son of one of the Police Surgeons we used at Dalkeith years ago and he was as nice as his dad. Just a pity I that one of the other Consultants let the side down by his serious attitude problem, needed lessons in bedside manners !!
Was able to keep in touch with the outside world, especially when banged up in isolation, so having made it home it was good this morning when Ian Stevens and Brian Paton appeared at Penicuik on their motorcycles.
