General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I'm sure I saw the news report which you all refer to. And I'm sure it was based on a patient at Whiston hospital A&E, not Wigan hospital (although it was mentioned).

And Basil Brush hit the nail squarely ont'yed with his "people of today are too soft"!

Yes. Years ago, the A&E's were nowhere near as busy.

Remember when you went to visit a relative in hospital and they used to say, "only two visitors per bed, please"?
Well, why don't they tell people visiting the A&E departments that they can only be accompanied by ONE chaparone, not mum, dad, three kids and the dog!
