Accident And Emergency

I heard of the improvement that will soon come to the local A&E and frankly I didn’t miss the plants while I was there a few days ago. I appreciate how nice it would be to be able to sit in an ambience which lends to a greater visual comfort but for me there seem to be more pressing issues that are urgent and that actually address health care. I am happy to have been successfully discharged but some how I am unable to give the A&E credit for this accomplishment.

Accident And Emergency

A recent visit to our local A&E

Cleared my conscience and confirmed my negativity

Chronic sufferers are punished there for being sick

I watched in quiet anguish at this farcical clinic

Doors at the entrance are broken and wouldn’t close

Everyone who touches them is contagiously exposed

No protection inside from passing car fumes

The cigarette smoke or the pungent perfumes

A single occupant bathroom is a great health threat

No regular sanitizing has been employed yet

Dangerous people enter and boisterously misbehave

Empathy is foreign to these mentally deprave

Medical attention early was never meted out

Even to those who would in agony shout

Registered nurses were being called away

Got other emergencies remote from A&E that day

Enclosed in a small room with uncomfortable chairs

No hint of a health conscious institution that cares

Could be that there are exceptions but for me

You pay nothing and receive less at our local A&E
