So this bloke walks into A&E

He's hurt his wrist. He gets it splinted, gets some painkillers, no charge, and goes back to work.

Another bloke, needing treatment for a bleeding leg, goes into another A&E. He gets his leg sorted out and some antibiotics, no charge, and goes home.

Bloke gets knocked down crossing the road, An ambulance turns up & carts him off to another A&E. After a few days' medical treatment and nursing as an in-patient, no charge, he's discharged home.

The financial and management arrangements of their various hospitals (one private, one university-run, one a charitable trust) never crossed their minds. The 'NHS' signboard outside all of them told the blokes patients all they needed to know: medical attention, no charge. Nuff said.

So, what's your problem, Unison/BMA/RCN/Unite/Labour? Eh? Eh?

Hat tip Dizzy.
