It all goes down hill when health care is privatised. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> Free health care is one of the things that put Norway on top of the UN rankings year after year. The problem is that coroprations are taking over more and more and geting more and more power over politicians, and having them ruin it for normal people to make a bit more money themselves.

mums rung the newspaper! rofl! they are deciding whether to run a story.
oh, and the hospital is in COMPLETE UTTER CHAOS! there has been an article in the newspaper about the code yellow yesterday. apparently there were about 30 people waiting on beds in the emergency corridor, the hospital is full to capacity, people had to be treated in the ambulances, nurses broke down in tears, a person who was having seizures waited more than 5 hours to be seen, all elective surgery cancelled. its been labelled an internal disaster. MELTDOOOOWWWNNN! at the end of the article the director of health [who is being paid over half a million dollars a year to do nothing] is STILL DENYING THERE IS A PROBLEM!

Lack of beds is not just a socialized medicine problem. At my hospital where I work and also go inpatient, I Have had to wait days for a bed myself. Of course I waited in the emergency room for it and was treated as inpatient.. but laid on a stretcher for a whole day, they they bought me a bed.. but still no bed on the floor.
We have had patients in our emergency room be "admitted" only to have their stay complete in the ER.. IT is rare that it happens but it does. This time of year is horrible and it only gets worse as the winter goes on.
We as a hospital have a rule never to go on divert, which is tough on the staff but we try really hard to handle all our patients that rely on us.. Other hospitals in our area though actually do go on divert, not allowing ambulances to come to the emergency room unless the person is a complete cardiac arrest.
Just thought I would say, not just a socialized med issue..
and Kylie, if you were to go to the emergency room, my guess would be that they would hold you there, till a bed became available, and you might even get it sooner but I think that would make me insane to do that

I just wanted to agree with Jennifer. I live in Knoxville, TN and two weeks ago the hospital was full and I was seen in the hallway, then they sent me to Nashville, which was full to, but somehow I did get a bed. But last time I waited over a wk to get a bed, and never got one. I hope that you get one soon and get better even sooner.
