| Bradly | I do some voluntary work <a href=" http://www.hurricanemedia.co.uk/what-does-vydox-look-like.pdf#hiss ">side effect of vydox</a> But I’m not convinced that the problem is the consultant cover. Sure, five consultants in the entire country sounds ludicrous, but only if you don’t understand the function of A&E or how it operates. The majority of problems that present to A&E are straightforward and don’t require a consultant’s input. Casualty doctors therefore act as a triage, signposting patients to the appropriate speciality when needed, treating and discharging others. For the genuine emergencies – the life-saving, blue lights‑blazing, drop-everything situations – there is a dedicated crash team. This comprises senior surgeons, anaesthetists and medics as well as the casualty doctors. So a lack of consultant cover at night time is not the reason for the current problems in A&E. |
