Hows the lad doing, hope he is on the mend. Whilst I'm not leaping to defend the services at the Casualty Dept at Treliske, my own experences is that the staff do a great job under very difficult circumstances. The dept is under funded and grosly understaffed, how the people in charge expect to cater for the region with the amount of space/beds available in asualty is beyond me. And as for wasteing money it's a joke, my Mum was admitted to St Ives hospital after a fall and a 4hour wait at Treliske. after being there for a couple of days she suffered a loss of blood pressure so the hospital staff phoned Kernodoc
(why no Doctor on duty in St Ives) they advised calling an Ambulance (surprise surprise), so off I trundle to Treliske to meet her and find out what was going on, 6 hours later she is back in an ambulance and on her way back to St Ives after being told that there was nothing wrong. Also had to pay over £14.00 just to park the car.
