Our hospitals are overflowing with patients on trolleys over a number of days - very sick people and the ambulance bay has more in ambulances waiting to get into the hospital, they are being treated in the ambulance, I have 2 elderly friends (aged in their late 80's and mid 90s) and they're families are telling me, because they are notadmitted until they get to a ward, they don't get fed from hospital either so family are bringing flasks of hot drinks to them and that, it's disgraceful situation here and only now the government are having crisis meetings about a crisis that they knew was going to happen, I wouldn't mind but our country (Rep of Ireland) is run by Dr's - our Taoiseach is a Doctor and the leader of the opposition is a doctor yet our heath service is the pits
There is a new strain of flu I was reading yesterday that is not in the vaccine we got back in September and that's nothing to do with the aussie flu - some folk need to be in hospital with this flu. We've already had some one die with the flu this year
