This was sent into us by one of our readers. Yet again, it highlights the real pressures which our A&E staff are under.

#StopTheAbuse

‘Waiting in corridors, people sick in a bed
Some not so poorly, some look half dead
Doctors and Nurses all rushed off their feet
Clocking more miles than a professional athlete.

Angry guy at reception, thinks he’s fractured his arm
Screaming “get me seen now and then I’ll keep calm”
“The staff are all busy” Is the receptionists answer
“Trying to save a man’s life who’s dying from cancer”

The girl who’s hungover after way too much wine
Could of just slept it off and you would of been fine
But you came to emergency as you felt you were dying
Now the really ill wait for the bed you’re occupying.

People’s tempers are fraying, after hours of waiting
Patients slagging of staff, who can hear all the slating 
But they turn a deaf ear, as they have work to do
Carry on with a smile as they look after you

A mother says they should hang their heads in shame
For the wait she’s endured, but who’s really to blame?
On his own in the street, when your kid took a fall
But’ we’ll patch up your child and we won’t judge at all

Your name gets called up and you’re finally seen
Yet you carry on moaning about how long it’s been 
The nurse says she’s sorry, all watery eyed
She was comforting a parent whose child had just died.

Some folk are there, through no fault of their own
They’ve fell down the stairs or broken a bone
Some just have a cut or a graze to their head
Some OD’d on drugs, which one first gets a bed?

Ten hours into shift, staff not yet had a break
Hungry and thirsty and every limb has an ache
And the patients keep coming, though some needn’t be there
But they won’t turn you away, they’ll continue to care.

So next time you’re all moaning about our NHS
Just remember it’s not staffs fault it’s in such a mess
They are doing a job that a lot couldn’t do
Often working for pittance to help folk just like you. And remember if this was some other country
That don’t get free treatment, then where would we be?’

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
