Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

This is much more than a TA. I'm so incensed, frustrated and heartbroken I hardly even know where to begin.

90yo father transferred from University Hospital (where he contracted Covid, thankfully no serious illness) to a community hospitial for rehabilitation (that's what they're calling it, anyway) so he can be mobile enough to return home to my care.

Went in yesterday for my scheduled 30 min visit (you get 2 of these a week) to find him unwashed, interior of his mouth covered in a thick brown film, clearly not being cleaned and clearly not getting any way near enough to drink. Someone else's shoes, several sizes too large, on his feet and a hearing aid with a dead battery in his ear.

As if this wasn't bad enough, today I discover that a medication for treating the illness that caused the symptoms that resulted in his admission to hospital in the first place had not been charted. For an entire week, with his condition visibly detiorating by the day, nobody even noticed that an absolutely essential medication was missing from his prescription chart. The error was only discovered because I insisted that a nurse go through his prescription chart with me today over the phone. Initially they tried to blame the discharging hospital Dr but I had already checked with my Dad's GP what was on the discharge letter so knew it wasn't their fault. I have complained informally by phone, will be formally complaining in writing and I want him out of there ASAP. Do you think the Public Health Nurse will return my call despite repeated requests? Nope.

I am fully prepared to go public with this. Neglect and incompetence in an institution tfor our most vulnerable members of our society with extremely restricted visiting rules is just intolerable. What about the poor people in there with no close next of kin to check up on them? Luckily, I have limited medical background and know enough about what mistakes can be made and what key phrases to pepper my interactions with the staff with to make them sit up and take notice. But unwashed and wearing someone else's clothes? Sweet Jaysus that is just unforgivable.

Let the two cats out after work, they walk about into the kitchen an hour later absolutely covered in those little sticky balls from the garden

I'm so sorry about your mother, onngm. That must have absolutely horrific to go through. My deepest condolences.

You should go all go public with this, go to the twitter/Facebook accounts of local TDs, Stephen Donnelly, Leo Varadkar and Michael Martin.

I'm sure others would follow with their stories.

I'm so sorry for you all, it's inhumane.

Outside of the frontline staff healthcare is an uncoordinated mess unfortunately… as I found out to my cost… extra demand placed on it now with everything going on isn’t going to improve things… things will get worse, severely worse.

—————

my own beef now is this….

the number of pure assed phishing and social media / phone scams going on…

Practically every member of my family, social group have been complaining throughout the summer, my cousin almost lost their Facebook…now it’s my turn…to get caught in the shenanigans…

The last few weeks…

Bank SMS’s x3 .. click a link to do xyz with your account, I haven’t got a XxxxX bank account.

a WhatsApp tonight from a person I don’t know looking for help…they are in an Ulster border county but know fûck all about their surroundings when questioned on it. Googled their mobile number… a scam being ran by Nigerians based in Ireland apparently…

an old email a while back getting hacked and deleted… not my primary one fortunately…

Holidays from work for 3 weeks which is a good thing.

My ta is I still woke at 4:30 and wide awake since.

And on top of that I was dreaming I was at work so that's like doing 2 days work yesterday ☺️

People living down the road from us, family of 5, like us, they’ve got the same bin company which collects every Friday morning and every second Friday morning going to work, their waste bin is out , lid open full to the brim but what annoys me is the usual two black bags left beside it and obviously collected as well. Why not just get the next size up bin and stop freeloading. Not sure if I’m more annoyed with them for being stingey or the bin men for taking the extra bags.

Go to any airport and you'll see people flummoxed when they try to go through security, many will gaze slack-jawed at the ziploc bags provided for them.

A bigger TA is that is does nothing for security!

well it can keep an explosive out of an aircraft,, mainly a deterrent but as the threat ain’t going anywhere ever it’s here to stay.

agree with the confused eejits though, The regs have been in for about 20 years.

I emailed a private health clinic re: a hydrotherapy treatment…

i get told that due to covid it’s temporarily unavailable but ALL other services at the clinic…, physiotherapy, dry needling, paediatric procedures are running as normal.

considering no elements of hydrotherapy are hands on, it’s basically an underwater treadmill the client is using and would be walking or running on…the risk of infection transmission is bound to be tiny.. compared to the hands on physio treatments conducted by a practitioner whose face will be a couple of feet away from a client and visa versa and who will be in physical contact with them too.

can they not just say.. “ for the moment we don’t offer this service “ … Without the requirement to make up hokey.

Misinformation about Amazon UK that constantly appears on Facebook. For all their faults, they're actually the safest UK place to order items from as they deal with the VAT issue properly and their packages arrive.

Get out of bed in the morning, look in the mirror, happy with sculpted Adonis like body I see 😁

Take off clothes going to bed at night, look in mirror,I now see Homer Simpson's body 😳

What's all that about?! 😂

Been a client of theirs for around 19 years or thereabouts and I cant recall a single occasion where I’ve been let down..

Next door neighbours, god love her but she sounds like Joan Burton. Add to it she and the rest of them sound half cut and are murdering Queen's top songs. It's f*cking torture listening to them.
