      I can’t imagine how the parents of children who die prematurely in these circumstances feel. It must be a mixture of grief and rage.

      The public healthcare system really needs to be cleaned up in this country and operating at a much higher level.

      Government need to be a lot more proactive on this.

      Needless to say it’s disappointing and disturbing) too see that the Irish public is poised to reelect those responsible for this. It makes no sense.

      Another avoidable tragedy – will anyone be held accountable? Doubtful.

      I will be the one making noise and advocating for attention if I felt a loved one was being neglected in an A&E, being meek in this country could cost you your life.

      This is fucking unbelievable. The amount of horror stories I’ve heard from people waiting in AE or been sent home misdiagnosed is getting out of hand at this. I got a blood infection after a botched appendix removal, when they sent me home I had to get an ambulance back in because they didn’t clean the stagnant blood out of my stomach properly, when I got to the waiting room I had to piss in a cup and sit in the hall for 5 hours holding the piss whilst in utter agony, I had to sleep in the doctors office that night.
      But we all know multiple people that have stories like this.

      I have severe gastrointestinal issues (don’t know a proper diagnosis yet as waiting list for specialists is more than a year long) and I was left waiting 5+ hours in wexford ED last week, I even passed out in the waiting room….I’m seriously scared for myself

      1st hand experience here…

      Lil fella had some kind of seizure mid August, we been sent to Dublin to do some kind of brain activity monitoring which happened few weeks ago. They found some anomaly in one part of brain and rushed us to mri.., then we did MRI at St Luke in killkeny yesterday and to be told it ussualy takes week to 10 days for doctor to look at Mri and say something…

      And then you be normal and wait 10 days all while you need to work and thinking about worst scenarios… I thought hours matter in this kind of scenario? No? Kids our future? Yeah, easy

      All the parties are the exact same bunch of lazy bastards. Sometimes i wonder if the only way to get a party that isn’t just pseudo fg/f is a an uprising to throw out this shower.

      But we were told that their are no waiting issues , the politician ( a guy ) told us right to our face . He wouldn’t lie to the people who pay his wages right ?
