It’s not something I learned but something someone else learned.
Fine Gael TD Kate O’Connell had to bring her child to A&E Crumlin.
She was embarrassed by the state of the emergency ward, describing it as “unacceptable”.
She hoped nobody would recognise her as a politician.
She gave up and took her child home.

So an overcrowded A&E in Ireland was news to Kate......a serving TD.

That is all.

Celebrity chef Gary Rhodes was 19 and running for a tram in Amsterdam in 1979 when he was hit by a van. He wasn't expected to survive, but did after having brain surgery for 8 hours. He was told after the operation to be very careful not to bang his head again as it was vulnerable, so he gave up playing football, which he loved.

Yesterday, forty years later he fell in his house in Dubai, hit his head, and died.

If she 'gave up and took her child home' you'd have to ask why she took them to A&E in the first place. A big part of overcrowding is down to laziness, or stupidity of parents.

I had to bring my daughter to Temple Street one night and the waiting area was rammed full of people. As hours passed by, most had f**ked off home without being seen. I asked the nurse about it later and she said lots of parents bring their kids to A&E because they live close by or don't have a GP.

When I was a kid, you were brought to Temple Street if you broke something or a plaster didn't stop the bleeding. Nowadays parents bring kids for a pain in their belly or a high temperature. It is ridiculous.
