Re: Nurses
Looks like more Train Strikes to come this Month as well Des, it really is so frustrating for all concerned, the poor commuters are the ones suffering.
I do realise that there may be issues with the Foreign Built Trains , but think that this Classens Bloke is a real Tosser!
There must be a far better way to resolve these issues! He seems to have the Govt by the Short and Curly!

Re: Nurses
Bit off Topic my last post i know but following on the story!
So back to the poor Nurses, and as i have not posted on them as yet my apologies to them all, as without the Nurses taking such good care of all who need them, where would we be!
Just for myself, a while back when i had my big Open Heart Surgery, gees they were good, there to assist in all ways and i am so thankfull to the Surgeons and the great Nurses who do such a grand job! Viva la Nurses! And give them a good Pay increase as they wel deserve it!

Re: Nurses
Vernon ,there is never enough money to keep the system going, never enough staff because of this and the systems.
But we are not on spike island here in Oz, from info from overseas we are very lucky here with what we get.
If I have to undergo any treatment out of the ordinary such as ops or minor treatment in hospital I always send a letter of thanks. One reply from a hospital told me many thanks. such letters give the nurses a bit of a lift.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Nurses
Mee too John , always say a big Thank You to all, and even sent a nice Card to the Surgeon for all he did for me, a real Expert he is!
With all that the Medical Staff do they surely deserve a lot more!
