Of course these times are when there is no traffic and an available ambulance

44leto

Yay less then 10 minutes.

galwayrush

21 mins.
Haha probably an extra hour with traffic most times in the day.

stupidusername

less than 10 minutes! \o/

apparently if you were in the Ilac Centre it'd take 30-45 minutes!

John Doe1

In cabra for college, so 10 mins, 20 mins at home

For Forks Sake

Quicker than it took that bloody map to load.

Temptamperu

Less than ten minutes, but they are closing a load of beds so who knows how long i would be sitting in the ER.

But its all good politicians get to keep there laundry bonus, f**k hospitals.

cocoshovel

20-30 minutes for me but I know its probably about an hour in total. Guess thats just where I live and I know if one of my family members had a heart attack they would be pretty much fúcked.
Isnt it you have 10 minutes to get a defib and advanced care on someone who has gone into cardiac arrest, after that there is 0% of them surviving.

Kevin Duffy

20-30 mins according to that map, but less than 10 in some of the areas I am likely to do something which would result in me needing a hospital.

Krieg

less than 10mins

Very interesting and also horrifying, thats quite a large percentage of the country in the 1hr+ mark

Edit:

It can take a while to load so here is the pic

Heavy red indicating less than 10mins, heavy blue indicating 60-90 mins+

Conall Cernach

It gives Monaghan Tow nas being 30 - 45 mins away. That is complete bollox.

My name is URL

I'm pretty close to all of the amenities listed on that map. Also within the country's main gateway.

Louth ftw!

af_thefragile

30mins to Beaumont, 20mins to Conolly...

kylith

I could walk there in less than 10 minutes. Assuming I was capable of walking. I have no idea how long it'd take to drag myself to A&E, but probably still not as long as it'd take to wait for an ambulance.

Jesus Wept

I have to wait for them to come pick me up too, who knows how long that it'd take. :O

amacachi

I think whoever put that map together took the word "Hospital" in "Louth County Hospital" a bit too literally.

alwaysadub

13.5 minutes.
If I was flying maybe!

jam_mac_jam

Less then ten minutes

lorebringer

less than 10 minutes.

I'm shocked how much of the west coast is 90+ minutes! Wouldn't want to be having an emergancy...

lucylu

38 minutes from a partial emergency hospital
but hey the sunny south east has the sun hasn't it

Evie90

49 minutes to a 24hour, wouldn't want to be dying after the hours of 8am to 8pm :rolleyes:

IM0

30 minutes

cloud493

Says 15 minutes... my bollocks is it 15 minutes from malahide to the beaumount.

Ellis Dee

How long will it take me to get to the nearest hospital? It depends on whether I'm still able to walk the 180 metres or have to crawl.:):):)

Sindri

5 minutes.

Or I could just do a home operation. In my house if you haven't lost 4 pints of blood your grand. A cup of tea with 4 sugars will fix ye.

EDIT

Load of bollix, map says 20-30 minutes when I regularly drive by it 5 minutes after setting off. Stupid.

El Weirdo

30-35 mins.

cloud493

House - self surgery scene. Sorted.

Well I live behind the ambulance depot and the hospital is two minutes drive. But I'd still be left sitting in the waiting room for about 7 hours waiting to be seen.

genie

20-30 mins according to the map but given the roads tracks around here, you'd need to double that at the very least.

The Snipe

3 mins in a car and 20 mins if I'm walking

Corruptedmorals

22 mins- much higher with traffic, but otherwise accurate to Blanch and Tallaght (breaking traffic lights). Pity they both have horrendous A+E waiting times.

Where To

51 mins

:mad:

cloud493

Cut a fair bit time off in an ambulance though.

newbee22

10.09 minutes!

What`s the fucking point of this? Everyone`s been to their local hospital at some stage and knows how long it takes....I don`t need a bloody map to tell me...

Alright alright, you'll need an ambulance for the stroke you're gonna give yourself :pac:

I've never yet heard of someone needing an ambulance after stroking themselves.

In theory, 5 minutes - in reality, its a gamble.

A woman died in my nearest town last week (knocked down) and it took between 30 (minimum) to 45 minutes for an ambulance to arrive - and from where she lay and the accident was, they could see one hospital in the distance and another, the biggest in my county, was also 7 minutes away (and I'm allowing for the call to go through, answered, message passed on, etc). Less if the driver put his foot down.

Its all right saying it will take "XX long" in theory, in reality, it might be different.

Now if I was driving someone to a hospital itself - 3/5 minutes.

Well let the lovely folk of AH cheer you up a bit. They're usually good for a laugh!

(oh and don't be apologising to me dear!)

GLaDOS

10 minutes according to the map.
Edit: less than 10 minutes actually, read the map wrong.

If I was dumped it the car and driven as fast as legally possible, I'd probably be in Beaumont Hospital in less than 5 minutes.

Then you`re obviously not doing it right. :rolleyes:

nice_very

u threatening me, OP..???

Azureus

Less than ten mins for me. Without traffic or delays, and with having an ambulance on hand which in actuality rarely happens from my experience.

Noreen1

Hmm. According to the map - 30-45 min.
It's actually 45 min. in a car.

Having said that, I recently had an emergency where the patient was too ill to be moved by car. The ambulance took 25 minutes to get here, (ambulance crew were fantastic, btw) and at that, they had been diverted from another call-out. Journey to hospital took 35 minutes, though the patient had been stabilised at that point. Probably could have made it in 25 minutes, if necessary.

So, by car, 45 minutes. Ambulance, 40-50, though mitigated by the fact that emergency care provided by the ambulance crew is available in around 25 minutes, sometimes sooner if there's an ambulance already in the area.

Duggy747

Considering I can actually see the hospital from my house it only takes 10 minutes to walk there. :pac:

As for going to Galway hospital from Co. Roscommon, it takes up to an hour plus. Especially when you hit that bottleneck of a town, Tuam.

Shenshen

Funny, it says 10-20 minutes on that map, but I live just down the road from a hospital... do they mean by foot, maybe?

Fluorescence

The red/orange line cuts right down the middle of my road. So the odd-numbered houses can get there in less than ten minutes but us even-numbered degenerates will take 10-20 minutes :pac: :pac: :pac: :pac:
