    No, I know for a fact.

    I had an accident abroad and no doctor would look at me till I showed my travel insurance policy.

    When my non-EU students register with GNIB they can only do so by showing health insurance.

    The policy is in place. I'm asking for it to be extended to all not covered by PRSI/HSE etc treatment.

    Know what for a fact?

    Hang on now, non nationals? or non eu citizens? Which is it you're using awful broad strokes with that tar brush

    Non-EU citizens are covered by the E111/EHIC card or whatever it's called now.

    Outside the EU are not. They are treated and pay zilch.

    This is not acceptable.

    You are desperate to virtue signal how cool you are, you're losing the point of the issue.

    As far as I'm aware, those who arrive via ambulance are triaged in exactly the same manner as those who arrive of their own accord.

    For example, if you are stupid enough to call an ambulance for something such as a broken finger, you will NOT be seen to before someone who has say, a fractured hip, who brought themselves to hospital.
    Or someone having a heart attack.
    Arriving by ambulance does not push you to the top of the queue. Patients are assessed by severity, not their means of transport.

    Similarly, if a pregnant woman called an ambulance, she wouldn't get to skip any queue for her antenatal appointment.
    If she was rushed to hospital with a suspected epileptic fit (which can induce labor) she'd be seen by the emergency team, which would be an entirely different department to the antenatal department.
    Is it really being suggested that she gets out of the ambulance and just strolls up to the top of the queue to see her midwife for a scan at the antenatal clinic? Really?

    I smell bullsh*t.

    This was about twenty years ago, long before the PC brigade tried to gag everyone by ganging up and bullying them on social media.

    People now have to watch every word they say and this makes them vote for people like Peter Casey.

    The liberals have a lot to answer for.

    Belinda knew full well the staff didnt believe her but they couldnt take the chance because of the baby so they sent the ambulance complete with driver and assistant. That ambulance would have been needed for someone genuinely ill but Belinda couldnt care less about that.

    The travellers dont care about anyone else either, they want to live in proximity to houses they can steal and shops they can rob so they wont accept halting sites in very isolated rural areas.

    That is the only solution to people who want to live in squalor at the side of the road, put them a good distance from everyone else so their behaviour only impacts on them.

    I dunno what they did with Belinda after she was wheeled past us. I now the nurse said she pulls this stunt for every appointment so clearly it worked. Maybe she just didnt want to get the Bus to the Rotunda or call a taxi so even if she had to wait in the queue she still got a free ride to the hospital. I didnt see her join the queue though so I assumed she was seen before the rest of us dopes who wouldnt call an ambulance unless we were at deaths door.

    Belinda wouldn't get to skip the queue at the antenatal clinic if she calls an ambulance, she would be sent to the emergency fetal department and assessed there.
    This isn't adding up at all.

    You werent there disbelieving Thomas, I was.

    Belinda according to the nurse pretended she was having a fit everytime she was due for an ante natal appointment.

    She called an ambulance so she could get to the hospital without paying for a bus or taxi.

    I dont care what the procedure is now, this is what one Nigerian did twenty years ago.

    You're sort of both right and wrong - the paramedics go into the hospital and are effectively the triage.

    You have been asked to explain the origin of a historically derogatory and demeaning comment and you are embarrassed by it. Why?

    So by that logic you’re suggesting that if I had, say, an appointment in the cardiovascular department, but didn’t feel like queueing for my appointment to see my consultant, I could call and ambulance and say I thought I was having a heart attack and get to skip the queue?
    Instead of being sent to A&E?
    Even 20 years ago? Pull the other one.

    Also, if she came via ambulance she’d probaly end up missing her antenatal appointment and would have to come back another day for the necessary bloodwork, paper work, measurements etc to be taken.
    Emergency consultants don’t deal with such matters.
    So if anything it would be more of an inconvenience for our Belinda to have to come back again.

    e rest of us dopes who wouldnt call an ambulance unless we were at deaths door.

    I worked as a nurse 20 years ago and before it and believe me no nurse should have broken patient confidentiality like that .Not one I know would have gossiped about a patient to a random other patient

    It doesn't show anything about "our men". :confused::confused:
    It show up those people who would use such terms and believe them as culturally relevant anymore or even ever.

    A few mins ago you said it was to skip the que, now you’re saying it’s a free lift she wanted. I’ve never had that much information about someone who was wheeled past me in a waiting room and to be honest you don’t strike me as the kind of person interested in the well being of any Nigerian

    Not virtue signaling in the least, just trying to point out to you that 'non-national' is casting a pretty wide net as it includes anybody not currently in possession of an Irish passport. (and, in my experience, also those in possession of an Irish passport but not in possession of the right skin colour).

    The PC nurses probably wouldnt but this one did.

    The black woman was moaning away on the stretcher so naturally enough you would be concerned, this is par for the course. Nigerian dont queue for anything, thats their culture.

    A friend delivered her baby in the maternity hospital in Drogheda. The proud traveller Daddy tried to conceive his next child the night the new one was delivered. He got into the hospital bed with his wife and tried to have sex with her. Those traveller women must be all incontinent by the time they are thirty, they are hardly back from the welfare office with the new buggy when they are pregnant again. I wish some journalist or Radio host would ask them why they cant use contraceptives, is it a religious thing. Its not as if the general taxpayer would mind paying a few more euro if it meant contraceptives were delivered by the truckload to the travellers.

    The non PC staff threw him out.

    Shur, if a mare can be impregnated soon after birth, why can’t wimmin?

    Well, that’s because what they’re saying is bull****. This never happened & they’re creating some fantasy by where a Nigerian woman rang ambulances pretending to have medical issues for a free ride. Or sorry to jump the cue. Wait which one was it?

    For those praising the wonderfulness of the British system:

    https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/oct/27/universal-credit-fuels-homeless-crisis
    (UK) Government welfare reforms are fuelling a rise in homelessness in towns and cities across the country, an Observer investigation has found.

    Interviews with homelessness charities across England reveal a support system in crisis as the rollout of universal credit and freezes to local housing allowance rates put even basic accommodation beyond the means of many. One shelter said universal credit was a factor in a third of its clients ending up in its care.

    The British system is about to get a whole lot worse with the new universal credit system. It likely won't be completed until 2023, ten years after the original legislation was passed and has been implemented so poorly that it is hurting the people it is supposed to help.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    For the last time, the black very pregnant woman was stretchered moaning loudly past a queue of pregnant women. The nurse said, dont worry about her, she calls an smbulance and pretends to be having a fit. No one knows why she did this, it could be so she didnt have to get the bus from phibsborough or wherever she lived or maybe she didnt want to sit at best or stand in a queue like the rest of us.
    I couldnt careless about theories about patient confidentiality, thats just something nurses are required to sign.
    I know lots of nurses who gossip about patients and teachers who complain about difficult children, some even name thesechilldren and their conditions, teachers have also told me they give grinds to these children, so much for confidentiality. I suppose a teacher will come on now and pretend this sainted profession would never divulge information. One teacher said she gave grinds to a named judges children and she said the children were thick as bricks.
    To gossip is to be human.
    Anyway, back to Mrs Cash now, no more wandering off topic.

    And no shoesdaychild. I dont care about undocumented migrants, I want our immigration staff to send them home.
    We are stuck with our own welfare spongers, nothing we can do about them but I for one want North Africa to know the only route to this country is the legal one.
